2. uphold holdup
Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.

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.
