How to build PATCHETT 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 August 27, 2026 are:

REO · RGA · NI · ZED · OUT · LA · WS · VIS · TAS · ZEN · DA · YA · EPIP · HAN · IES · PA · TCH · ETT · HAS · TE

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