How to build EQUINOX from the tiles

ZO · OS · GR · OSS · EST · EQ · UI · NOX · CO · LM · AN · STR · AW · BER · RY · KN · ELT · ME · DD · LED
EQUINOX is built by combining the tiles EQ · UI · NOX in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in EQUINOX early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
