How to build MUSKINESS 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 July 18, 2026 are:

OFF · SI · DE · IC · EBO · AT · TOPO · NYMY · SIL · BER · MAN · MUSK · INE · SS · OBVI · OUS · LA · MP · EDU · SA

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