How to build HAMMERS from the tiles

SOLV · ING · PR · OCR · EATE · WOO · DCUT · TERS · VIR · ULEN · CE · HAM · ME · RS · SEM · INO · LES · BA · CK · UP

HAMMERS is built by combining the tiles HAM · ME · RS in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in HAMMERS early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
