How to build CHOPPING 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 9, 2026 are:

CH · OPP · ING · CH · UMM · ILY · FLY · ING · WHIT · EBO · ARD · JA · PAN · ESE · BA · BB · AGE · FAI · RW · AY

CHOPPING is built by combining the tiles CH · OPP · ING in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in CHOPPING early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
