How to build NEWCOMERS 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 2, 2026 are:

PAC · KI · NG · CHAN · GING · NE · WC · OM · ERS · KI · NG · DO · MS · HOL · LA · ND · PECO · RINO · TAC · ITLY

NEWCOMERS is built by combining the tiles NE · WC · OM · ERS in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in NEWCOMERS early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
