How to build OPALS from the tiles

PE · RIL · OUS · DIS · QUA · LIFY · SOR · TI · ES · PO · PUL · AR · IZE · OPA · LS · MI · LL · BUB · BL · ES

OPALS is built by combining the tiles OPA · LS in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in OPALS early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
