Built from these letters
STYLIZE starts with S and ends with E. Sorted, its letters read EILSTYZ - the shape to hunt for when the grid is scrambled. No letter is used twice, which makes it an isogram. It uses Z - among the least common letters in written English.

One other word uses exactly these letters. Worth knowing at the board: an anagram fits a grid the same way.
