How to build MOUNTBATTEN from the tiles

FAT · UO · US · HO · WL · ING · MOU · NT · BAT · TEN · SOP · HIS · TRY · BE · AMS · MEN · HAD · EN · MAL · LET

MOUNTBATTEN is built by combining the tiles MOU · NT · BAT · TEN in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in MOUNTBATTEN early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
