How to build SURFBOARD 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 30, 2026 are:

FIE · ND · SAPP · HIRE · SU · RF · BOA · RD · COM · PUNC · TION · UNDE · RC · OU · NTS · INEV · ITA · BLY · IMA · GE

SURFBOARD is built by combining the tiles SU · RF · BOA · RD in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in SURFBOARD early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
