How to build DEODORIZER 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 18, 2026 are:

AMA · RYL · LIS · DEO · DORI · ZER · SUG · ARL · OAF · AGE · NDA · SE · NEG · AL · EXT · EMP · ORE · PI · NI · NG

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