No, these aren't those annoying problems that math teachers like to give in middle school. These puzzles are based around words and language use.
Difficulty: 3 of 5 Latest: Cubic Routes
The image is the net of a cube. Consider the vertices and face centres as forming six separate networks with each having five locations.



The object is to allocate each of the 14 locations a unique letter of the alphabet such that the letters contained in each of the six networks reads as a five letter word.

The word may begin at any point of the network with successive letters being adjacent to its predecessor. For example, M, I, N, E, D may occupy the respective positions of 1, 2, 3, 4, 11.

Note that the word D E N I M is readable in the reverse direction and thus yields 2 words for that network.

With the latter thought in mind, how many words can you derive from your six networks? [I have 9 and used 4 vowels.]

Note: Please try to limit words to what might be readily accessible in a common "pocket" English dictionary.
