The letters used are R, S, T, L, N, and E (although S and L do not appear in the clue).

Did you mean 36 across or am I missing a connection to 46 across? And I’m afraid I still don’t see the significance of the letters. Do you mean those are just the given letters in a Wheel of Fortune round?

@Russ In the final round of a Wheel of Fortune game, the contestant is given a bonus puzzle where they are given 10 seconds to solve a puzzle. The show automatically gives the contestant the letters R, S, T, L, N, and E. Then, they will pick three more consonants and a vowel.
