This one comes with a question - Should I post the players, year and location of the games also? All of these puzzles are from games.
1.Nh5![threat 2.Qg7#]
1...gxh5 [moving the N allows Qh7#]
2.Ne6! [with threats of Qg7# and Rg5#]
2...fxe6 3.Rg5+ Kf7 4.Qg6#

You mean Nxh7? Anyway, BigDoggProblem got the exact solution here on this one.

1. Rxd5 Qxd5
2. Ne7#
or
1. ... exd5
2. Bg7 Nxg7
3. Qxg7#

I know there are other varients but I'm in a little bit of a rush this morning, so I can't post all the others.

Why not try 1.Ne7+ Qxe7 2.Qxh7+ Kxh7 3. Rh5+ Kg8 4.Rh8# ?

This is correct. After Rxd5 black is not forced to play Qxd5, he can also do exd.

Nf5+, Kh5, Bd1 wins due to the threat of Kg3# and clearly RxR is met by fxg8=Q renewing the threat.
