How to build WADE from the tiles

MAS · HED · SA · WT · EE · TH · GAL · LO · PI · NG · CHI · PMU · NKS · YEN · TL · WA · DE · SH · AC · KLE
WADE is built by combining the tiles WA · DE in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in WADE early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
