How to build GREY from the tiles

CHI · LL · ING · WIS · DOM · MAR · VEL · ING · GR · EY · NO · NC · HAL · ANT · SAR · AH · PO · DO · LOG · IST
GREY is built by combining the tiles GR · EY in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in GREY early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
