Complete the words given below using three consecutive letters in alphabetic order.
As an example, for: (*)(*)A(*)US, add A, B, and C and it becomes ABACUS.
- CO(*)(*)E(*)
- (*)(*)(*)ORM
- SO(*)E(*)(*)
- (*)A(*)(*)RATE
- (*)U(*)G(*)L
- S(*)O(*)(*)Y
- (*)OBU(*)(*)
- (*)O(*)OT(*)NE
- (*)US(*)E(*)

'***ORM'
'SO*E**'
'*A**RATE'
'*U*G*L'
'S*O**Y'

where isword is a function already written:
