How to build SMARTER 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 2's tiles for October 12, 2026 are:

PLA · CES · CR · OOK · ED · SM · ART · ER · RO · WDI · LY · RAR · ER · AB · AN · DO · NS · TRA · GED · IES

SMARTER is built by combining the tiles SM · ART · ER in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in SMARTER early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
