How to build HAYWORTH 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 1's tiles for September 22, 2026 are:

KNO · WLE · DGE · BRA · INS · SHA · KI · LY · HAY · WO · RTH · AXI · OM · GAN · AC · HE · HE · ADP · HON · ES

HAYWORTH is built by combining the tiles HAY · WO · RTH in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in HAYWORTH early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
