How to build REFINEMENT 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 3's tiles for September 6, 2026 are:

REF · INE · ME · NT · BR · ICK · ED · BE · RE · TS · FRE · EW · ARE · RI · DER · DEC · ENN · IAL · PAR · CEL

REFINEMENT is built by combining the tiles REF · INE · ME · NT in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in REFINEMENT early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
