SKELETONS

Challenge

   
 

ELEphant    rELEvant    dELEgate    feELEr    reELEd

 

In each of the examples above, the letters ELE can be thought of as forming the skeleton of the word.  In each case, letters have been added at the front or the back (or both) of the skeleton to form a new word.  (Note: you are not allowed to split the letters of the skeleton.)  Take each of the skeletons below and "flesh them out" to make proper words.  You should be able to find at least one word for each skeleton - if not more
