How to build PICKEREL from the tiles

PON · DER · OSA · EI · NST · EI · NI · UM · PI · CKE · REL · MAS · ALA · FR · AN · DA · NDI · ER · LO · BBY

PICKEREL is built by combining the tiles PI · CKE · REL in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in PICKEREL early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
