Thanks for all the help. I think I got most of them now, but still looking
for 3 of them. I also forgot to mention the number of words. So here are the
3 I am still looking for with the number of words I am looking for:

> 2). HOM - (Home with a long fat E at the end)

> -

The answer should be 5 words.


> 9). HE
> (CAPITALISM)
>

The answer should be 6 words. I thought of "He end up embracing capitalism",
but that is not 6 words:-(

> 12). HIS
> KALAMAZOOO
>

The answer should be 6 words. I have no idea on this one. Only know that
Kalamazooo is a place in Michigan in the USA???
