A Two-Dimensional Word Scramble Puzzle

A Word Scramble is a word puzzle game that provides you a group of jumbled letters and wants you to unscramble them to make a real word. As an example, if you get the letters “TBES” you may unscramble them to detect the word “BEST” [Reference: G. R. Roosta, Word Scramble Puzzles, 2010 ASIN: B003A83WA4].

A Two-Dimensional Word Scramble puzzle has two steps. In the first step you solve a couple of regular word scramble puzzles and identify the original words and then in the second step you rearrange a given set of letters from these original words to discover the final word.

Here is a Two-Dimensional Word Scramble Puzzle:

There are seven 7-letter words as follows. Unscramble them and then take the middle letter of each word to make the final answer of this puzzle:

1. WEELYJR
2. YWDKOER
3. TSYMERY
4. OREOTSR
5. TEFNEBI
6. FIRLACY
7. SENSTFA

Answer:

1. jewelry
2. keyword
3. mystery
4. rooster
5. benefit
6. clarify
7. fatness

The middle letters of the above words:
