How to build WESTERNERS 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 17, 2026 are:

DEF · EAT · IST · ZEB · RA · PEE · LS · STU · NT · MEN · SAN · TA · NA · FIN · AG · LED · WES · TER · NE · RS

WESTERNERS is built by combining the tiles WES · TER · NE · RS in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in WESTERNERS early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
