How to build HALE 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 September 23, 2026 are:

GR · EA · TLY · INE · RT · INS · PIR · AT · ION · LI · PS · TIC · KS · HA · LE · TA · HOE · REP · RIS · ING

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