How to build ALLIUMS 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 October 17, 2026 are:

CRU · MBS · DA · KO · TA · AU · ST · RI · AN · ALL · IU · MS · BO · BA · NYM · PHE · AS · EX · IGU · OUS

ALLIUMS is built by combining the tiles ALL · IU · MS in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in ALLIUMS early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
