FLA · MIN · GOS · QUI · XO · TE · GI · NG · ER · TUB · ES · HI · TT · ING · RE · CLU · SI · ON · PL · UG
RECLUSION is built by combining the tiles RE · CLU · SI · ON in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in RECLUSION early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
