How to build SKULKING from the tiles

SK · UL · KI · NG · LA · RDY · PL · AIN · JI · BB · OOM · WAT · ERL · OO · BUF · FET · ING · WI · NG · ED
SKULKING is built by combining the tiles SK · UL · KI · NG in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in SKULKING early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
