WAL · TZ · SC · HNA · BEL · LA · UND · RY · MAN · PROF · ITA · BLE · NOS · EG · AYS · GRA · VID · EP · HE · SUS
EPHESUS is built by combining the tiles EP · HE · SUS in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in EPHESUS early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
