That was hard. Took several minutes. I had to use a word finder site to look
for prefixes to "show" and then try each one against the other words.

One of the words didn't appear to work until I realized that it was a word,
but isn't pronounced as the two separate words next to each other would be
pronounced. I verified the spelling of the word by running it through my
dictionary web site:
