Lol, given that comment then I will have to assume you are being deliberately annoying and showing off by producing words over four letters!

Yeah, I'll be quiet now!

Hmm...apologies if I repeat any...I'll try only to make long-ish words...
Flora
Store
Loaf
Roast
Stare
Rates
Rest
Toes
Flats
Least
Feast
Roles
Forest

Of course, I can see tons more but they're mostly three or four letters long and thus you probably got 'em already

At
dianneandpaul.net/words.txt
you will find a few more like: ALAS, ALEE and quite a few
more. These are from crossword dictionary and many are
abbreviations. But ALOE should certainly be legal.
( ARSE is in there, too. )
