How to build ALLEYWAY from the tiles

FRIG · HTEN · ING · EMBA · RRA · SSED · HOU · SED · LI · VE · LY · ALL · EYW · AY · BA · LLPO · INTS · CARP · EN · TER

ALLEYWAY is built by combining the tiles ALL · EYW · AY in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in ALLEYWAY early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
