How to build GRANDDAD from the tiles

In 7 Little Words you don't type the answer — you assemble it from the puzzle's shared tile bank, and every tile is used exactly once across all seven answers. Puzzle 4's tiles for October 10, 2026 are:

REP · RI · MAN · DED · NIG · ER · GR · AND · DAD · AI · LER · ON · NA · AN · GA · TEF · OLD · TO · RC · HES

GRANDDAD is built by combining the tiles GR · AND · DAD in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in GRANDDAD early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
