What four letters can be rearranged to form six different English words? (There are two solutions of which I am aware.) For example, the letters 'E T M I' can be rearranged to form only four different words ITEM, TIME, EMIT, MITE.

Solution: (Hide)

Either:
TEAS (East, Seta, Etas, Sate, Seat, Eats);
or:
POTS (Stop, Post, Opts, Tops, Spot)
NB. There are seven arrangements for the first answer; not six, as I originally thought.
