I have a string list including some words. For example, I have
words=cut, was, saw, clear, sharp, keen, tree, these;
I want to write a code that changes the first letter of each word to the capital letter. I mean I want to have the result as
Cut, Was, Saw, Clear, Sharp, Keen, Tree, These;
How can I figure it out?

It is not clear what do you mean by 'string list', there are no strings inwords. Also, have you tried searching documentation for string related functions that could help you?

If the input and the desired output are lists of Strings:
strings = "cut", "was", "saw", "clear", "sharp", "keen", "tree", "these";
GeneralUtilities`ToTitleCase[strings]
"Cut", "Was", "Saw", "Clear", "Sharp", "Keen", "Tree", "These"
Alternatively, you can use StringReplace:
StringReplace[strings, WordBoundary ~~ a_ :> ToUpperCase[a]]
"Cut", "Was", "Saw", "Clear", "Sharp", "Keen", "Tree", "These"
If the input and desired output are lists of Symbols:
words = cut, was, saw, clear, sharp, keen, tree, these;
Symbol /@ GeneralUtilities`ToTitleCase[ToString /@ words]
Cut, Was, Saw, Clear, Sharp, Keen, Tree, These
