How to build TYPO 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 August 27, 2026 are:

QUA · DR · ATE · PAR · ACH · UTE · TY · PO · TE · RMI · NOL · OGY · CE · NSU · RES · HIN · DUS · TAN · TOO · LED

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