hope all is well!

Back with a familiar puzzle, but for those that don't know the rules are as follows:

The three overlapping ellipses form seven curved regions. There are seven tiles. Place one tile in each region so that the four tiles in any one ellipse can be re-arranged to make an eight-letter solution to the corresponding clue! Enjoy!

The three words are:

RISK:

ENDANGER (to put something at risk)

CAREFULLY LIKE ROGERS:

GINGER (Ginger Rogers was a famous dancer, and "gingerly" = "carefully")

E'S:

ENERGIES (E is a common abbreviation for "energy")

So, reading across the rows:

DA - EN - ES NG - ER - GI LY

I initially got sidetracked on "E's" by thoughts of

the Shamen song "Ebenezer Goode", which involves repeatedly singing "E's are good" - we have EN, ER, and ES is pretty close to EZ.
