How to build HUMANITIES 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 October 16, 2026 are:

BO · LE · QU · IC · KNE · SS · DRI · NK · SHA · MB · LE · HU · MA · NIT · IES · BR · EW · SUN · TAN · NED

HUMANITIES is built by combining the tiles HU · MA · NIT · IES in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in HUMANITIES early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
