How to build MISTY from the tiles

SW · AY · PR · EC · ED · ES · LO · DG · ES · SA · TU · RA · TI · ON · TO · KYO · MI · STY · SHO · RT
MISTY is built by combining the tiles MI · STY in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in MISTY early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
