Gail, I don't recognize "eep". My word has the exact same letters, but not in that order.
Gerry, you need another "f" for "tiff". the word that you're missing can be seen directly in the clue word.

Good answer, Joan  Gail, the board didn't [blip] it out so it must be okay to say. Just type quietly.
