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

           !
          / \
     !---!---!---!
      \ /     \ /
       !       W
      / \     / \
     !---!---!---!
          \ /
           !

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?

(In reply to computer solutions by Charlie)

A few diagramic "duplicates" due to the following anadromes:

bows :=: swob
pows :=: swop
slim :=: mils


Here is a list of some anadromes where only one of the pair were found in the word lists. This may be due to the second word being obsolete, colloquial, or just not considered common:

grub :=: burg
lion :=: noil
bird :=: drib
mows :=: swom
