I mean, that word is eight letters, and you only have seven tiles in your hand.
We don’t have the entire context. The game could have been ridiculous. Like, the lady could have started with “A”, then the guy made it “AN”, and then the third guy made the eight letter word. But I think the author intended to imply that he went first and plonked down that entire word.
That’s how he used 8 tiles! He stole all of their tiles and is hiding them in his parka. He must be a hugely talented thief to take their tiles without them noticing.

Interestingly, no one has any tiles after that one word.
