How to build SHARPENERS 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 2's tiles for September 9, 2026 are:

MIS · TYP · ING · SH · ARP · ENE · RS · IND · ENT · CL · AWB · ACK · FIL · MSTR · IPS · UNS · EEN · LI · CKI · NG

SHARPENERS is built by combining the tiles SH · ARP · ENE · RS in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in SHARPENERS early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
