How to build WADDLE from the tiles

WAD · DLE · NE · PAL · EU · PHON · IOUS · PROP · AGAT · ION · PI · NSPO · TTER · SC · RE · AM · WH · IS · TL · ER
WADDLE is built by combining the tiles WAD · DLE in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in WADDLE early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
