How to build ANDERSEN 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 1's tiles for October 10, 2026 are:

VO · WS · UNM · ASK · ED · ERI · VO · AN · DE · RS · EN · MON · STE · RA · EST · IVA · TE · OD · YSS · EUS

ANDERSEN is built by combining the tiles AN · DE · RS · EN in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in ANDERSEN early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
