How Are the Letters Arranged on Mad Ade's Nephew's Blocks?

In summary, Mad Ade was babysitting his nephew for two kebabs an hour and his nephew managed to spell all 15 words by arranging 4 blocks with different letters on each side. Mad Ade missed the cleverness of the situation as he was focused on earning kebabs. The correct arrangement of letters on the blocks is first block - ABKLTV, second block - IJMNRY, third block - FOPUWZ, and fourth block - CDEHQS.

Mad Ade was looking after his two year old Nephew (He charges two Kebabs an hour if you are in need of a babysitter).
His Nephew had 4 play blocks each with 6 sides. Each side has a letter from the alphabet. No letters are ever repeated. By arranging the blocks in different ways Mad Ade's nephew managed (By complete and utter fluke) to spell all the words listed below:

BODY
MAZE
CURT
MOVE
DRAW
NOTE
FEAR
PICK
HUNT
QUIT
JOKE
SNOB
KNEW
TYPE
LIFE

Now Mad Ade is relatively simple and missed the potential teaser in the situation, his mind firmly fixed on the Kebabs he was earning.
Can you figure out how the letters are arranged on the 4 blocks?

Apparently they are correct because I came up with the same answer and then tested it.
