How to build CAVENDISH 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 1, 2026 are:

CU · VET · TE · SUP · PLI · CATE · NO · TEP · ADS · DO · ORJ · AMB · SL · EUT · HS · ION · IA · CAV · END · ISH

CAVENDISH is built by combining the tiles CAV · END · ISH in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in CAVENDISH early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
