PIC · KI · ER · BOUL · EVAR · DS · SA · GE · LY · UNI · FOR · MITY · CONF · OUND · HE · RR · IOT · GOOS · EB · ERRY
GOOSEBERRY is built by combining the tiles GOOS · EB · ERRY in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in GOOSEBERRY early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
