How to build YZERMAN 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 August 7, 2026 are:

ROU · SE · AB · OUT · SUN · DAN · CE · CL · OA · KED · AP · PLA · UD · KAB · UKI · YZ · ER · MAN · AWA · ITS

YZERMAN is built by combining the tiles YZ · ER · MAN in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in YZERMAN early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
