Puzzle 2

A 'complete' word is a word in which every letter, in turn, can be replaced by another to form a new word.

For example, RUG is a complete word because:
-ug = hug
r-g = rig
ru- = run

How many of the following words are not complete words? Proper nouns and names are not allowed.
hard port duck bugs bail mast thin lean fire read
