How to build STEPMOTHER 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 October 10, 2026 are:

STR · ANG · ELY · HUA · NGL · ONG · WID · OWB · IRD · SUG · ARY · FOS · SE · TT · STEP · MOT · HER · TRA · INE · RS

STEPMOTHER is built by combining the tiles STEP · MOT · HER in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in STEPMOTHER early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
