How to build HAMPSHIRE 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 5's tiles for September 10, 2026 are:

BI · LI · OUS · PO · RTF · OLI · OS · BRI · EF · EXT · IRP · ATE · HAM · PSH · IRE · MUC · KR · AKE · JEN · NET

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