As for the third one, it's clear that for each word the last three letters are the first three from the previous word, so the real trick is in the first letter. What appears to be happening there is that the last letter from the previous word becomes the new first letter, but if it's something other than an 'o' it advances to the next character. IE, the 'e' becomes the 'f' in the beginning, the 'b' becomes the 'c' in the beginning. Following that, I believe the next word in the sequence would be "goco."

oboe
fobo = [e++][obo]
ofob = [o][fob]
cofo = [b++][ofo]
ocof = [o][cof]
[goco = [f++][oco]]


I knew it, but I googled the explanation.
