How to build MISCHANCE 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 2's tiles for October 8, 2026 are:

SUP · PLE · SPO · NGE · LI · KE · PRE · FOR · MED · JA · DE · MI · SCH · AN · CE · EQ · UIP · SI · GM · UND

MISCHANCE is built by combining the tiles MI · SCH · AN · CE in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in MISCHANCE early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
