Each intersection of this hexagonal star is the location of a unique letter none of which is an "A". A "W" is already placed as a starter.

Each line is a common English four letter word when read from at least one direction.

What solutions can you offer?

Using unique letters, but with access to all vowels, what other solutions are available?
