How to build EXCELLENCE 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 21, 2026 are:

SAL · ADS · SH · OWE · RS · AB · ODE · EXC · EL · LE · NCE · BOL · DFA · CE · HON · EY · ED · HIL · LT · OP

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