I've found in one of the Mensa quizzes a puzzle asking for a 6 letter word that allows creation of 3 valid English words just by simply permuting the 123456 word
into 426153, 462315 & 623451.
It is not too difficult to solve it, if you wish.

I've tried to find an example that provides more answers, searched 7-letter words, surfed the web and finally got a set of 5 letters allowing 5 permutations.

Prior to giving you the sequences I must admit that:
a. proper names (people or geographical entities) are allowed.
b. plural form is OK -S is one of the letters.

The 5 permutations are:
12345
32451
51243
54123
12435

What are the words and their meanings?

 4  1 14  7  5 18   DANGER

 7  1 18  4  5 14   GARDEN

 7 18  1 14  4  5   GRANDE

18  1 14  7  5  4   RANGED
