How to build VALVE 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 September 21, 2026 are:

CO · MP · OR · TME · NT · SK · ULK · TUS · CA · NY · SH · ANN · ON · PO · WE · LL · TEX · AN · VAL · VE

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