Very good! Kudos to both of you. I got busy and wasn't able to get back with the key letters and the final answer. Of course, the second word was the reason I posted it.
Take the I and E from poise, the I from whirl, the V and E from beaver and the T and D from stodgy for the final answer..........that is I E I V E T D.
