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
Analysis of solving by Gamer)
It is true there are not many English words of the form _WU_, _UW_, _IW_, _WO_, or _WE_, especially with the absence of the A. Yet, there does exist some words that can be used:
- SWUM - [past participle] swim
- SWOB - [variant of swab] mop
- SWOP - [variant of swap] equal exchange
- SWOT - [variant of swat] study very hard
- TWOC - [variant of twock] to steal a car for joyriding
- TWOS - [plural of two] being one more than one
- OWED - [past tense] owe
- OWES - [present tense of 3rd person singular] owe
In addition, also not of either the pattern _OW_, _EW_ and _WI_, or _WU_, _UW_, _IW_, _WO_, or _WE_, are the following:
- CWMS - [plural of cwm] a steep-walled valley
- HWYL - good spirit or enthusiasm
- OWLS - [plural of owl] a nocturnal-hunting bird
- OWNS - [present tense of 3rd person singular] own
