How to build EUDORA from the tiles

HEI · RLO · OMS · SCA · DS · ADM · IRA · TI · ON · DEM · OGR · AP · HY · BL · END · ED · EUD · ORA · BA · SIE
EUDORA is built by combining the tiles EUD · ORA in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in EUDORA early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
