[Fictionary] A puzzle while we're waiting

[Beth Bruch]

That's cool and actually really interesting, but I'd argue it's not a
unique solution to the puzzle: Wombat is the only one where every letter
appears only once. Also wombats are really cute, and significantly less
likely than koalas to bite your nose.

How many other solutions are there?

:-)
