Star Stare (Posted on 2008-07-16)

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?

The following is my offered solution
C / \ B---L---O---T \ / \ / U W / \ / \ E---R---I---S \ / N
but as frequently happens I must defer to Charlie and Dej Mar in their comments.

I was quite interested in Gamer's thoughts too; very much of what he notes are issues that I encountered when devising this braintwister.
