How to build SYMPTOMS from the tiles

SYMP · TOMS · PUNC · TUAT · ES · UNAM · USED · TALL · AHA · SSEE · FA · CTOI · DS · BUIL · DA · BLE · CE · NTR · AL · IZE
SYMPTOMS is built by combining the tiles SYMP · TOMS in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in SYMPTOMS early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
