Star Stare (Posted on 2008-07-16) Difficulty: 4 of 5

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?

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

Gamer,

As "common" is purely objective. I've personally defined it where the word is not solely found in unabridged dictionaries,  not defined as obsolete, slang, colloquial or a dialect of a non-American English language. 

I often use WWW.ONELOOK.COM as my "dictionary", and but for my personal limits, I usually defer "common" to those it defines a common.

I know of no word-usage frequency charts available to otherwise identify what is considered "common".  Do you?
