Nine Letter word game

[[Ol...]]

I don't know whether this will work or not but if it does it will be a new word game to have a try at.

                                                                  -------------

 

Find as many words as you can from these nine letters.

Each word must be at least four letters long and must contain the 'hub' letter. In this case 'E'.

Letters given can only be used once in each word. i.e. in this case, in each word, S, G and R can be used up to twice but O, E, and A can be used once.

You cannot use plurals, foreign words or 'proper' nouns but verb forms ending in 's' are allowed.

Both English or American spellings are allowed but NOT of the same word.

There is at least  one nine letter word.

Abbreviations don't count.

'Urban Dictionary' words are NOT encouraged.

 

Game 1 -    The target in this case is 26 words.
