How to build WISDOM from the tiles

CHI · LL · ING · WIS · DOM · MAR · VEL · ING · GR · EY · NO · NC · HAL · ANT · SAR · AH · PO · DO · LOG · IST
WISDOM is built by combining the tiles WIS · DOM in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in WISDOM early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
