Insert all 26 letters of the alphabet in place of the hyphens below, to form valid common English words.

All 26 letters are to be used, in the 26 spaces.

BR---N
-OL--A-

*please disregard title, after writing title I found my other solution did not work but I forgot to change the title*

I ran a computer program that used a list of several hundred thousand words to find 66 solutions, most of which involve non-common words.  I did a quick visual scan of all 66 and so far have only found 1 that I feel would qualify as containing common words and that is

maverick
subtle
pique
golfer
jinx
wrap
brazen
holiday

in my next post I will give all 66 solutions that I found and perhaps someone else could find another solution within them that could qualify.
