SH · RI · KE · SC · HOL · AST · IC · BO · NO · GA · SES · NUT · RI · TI · OUS · SMO · KEY · ART · LES · SLY
NUTRITIOUS is built by combining the tiles NUT · RI · TI · OUS in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in NUTRITIOUS early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
