How to build BANKROLLER from the tiles

DIS · HW · ATER · APO · STR · OPHE · MIRR · OR · LIKE · GA · BBY · BA · NKRO · LLER · FI · ELD · BL · OW · TOR · CH
BANKROLLER is built by combining the tiles BA · NKRO · LLER in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in BANKROLLER early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
