How to build PLACEKICK from the tiles

PL · ACE · KI · CK · EQ · UIV · OC · AL · IO · DIZE · GROU · NDSH · EET · HARI · SSA · POL · YHED · RONS · VEL · DT
PLACEKICK is built by combining the tiles PL · ACE · KI · CK in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in PLACEKICK early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
