Weekly(?) Boggle Challenge #1: Which 3 letters can make the most 3 letter words?

[flyin...@mac.com]

I'm starting a new series of Boggle challenges that can also help out
players with their vocabulary...

The challenge this week (this day? this hour? until I post again? until
I have another idea?):

Which 3 letters can make the most 3 letter words?
The great majority of useful three-letter combinations can make two or
three words, like "AIM" and "AMI" or like "BRA", "BAR" and "ARB".

During my WordWiggling, I've noticed one set of 3 letters that can make
4 different legal WordWiggle words, and another set that can make 5
words.

Who can name them here first, and are there more than those two?

I'll reveal the two I know if no one guesses them in the next couple of
days. If anyone notes a set I didn't realize then I will concede they
are the TOP ("TOP", POT", "OPT", only three words... Nope, that's not
one of them...)
Good luck!

My first guess would be "TEA". tea, eat, ate, tae, eta

the five word one is tea as already mentioned above. The 4 word one is
spa, asp , pas, sap.

Well, FredPP and RubberChicken got the two I know - Congratulations!
If any one knows some others, let me know...

Time for the next Challenge then. I have some harder ones (I think)!

I'll post an interesting similar new challenge tomorrow - that could
have a big impact on people's scores, once solved!

Again - well done to FredPP and rubberchicken!
