How to build MAZES 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 4, 2026 are:

NU · RE · YEV · MO · RR · IS · ON · SK · INN · IER · PE · RFU · ME · MA · ZES · TYL · OPO · DS · SE · DGY

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