How to build SCUTWORK 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 13, 2026 are:

SC · UT · WO · RK · TO · LLW · AY · NA · STY · CH · AR · IS · MA · SKE · ET · TE · ND · ER · BL · OOM

SCUTWORK is built by combining the tiles SC · UT · WO · RK in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in SCUTWORK early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
