One is 5 letters and the other two are 4 letter words. For the H, I have 4/7, 4/10 & 5/28. Can someone tell me what I'm missing, please? Thanx

Might as well try the L's and go for it.
I have le4/7, le4/4, le5/22, le5/16X3, li4/7X2, li4/4 & li5/16. I'd be a really happy camper if I got them all. Advance thanks to all.
