The stud notches pretty much peg it as a 2x2.

   The view you chose didn’t make that clear. For a couple of these parts showing them in use with another part, or showing several angles, might clarify the usages.

I was able to figure them all out without any trouble, with only a few exceptions:

1. Double-ended clip plate (not sure why the other two variants weren’t included).

4. 1x1 round tile.

6. Short swing-hinge plate (interesting concept, but 1x1 plates can twist a little, so use of this might be a bit frustrating).

8. Tiles for the underside.

9. Tall headlight brick (I’m not sure what the point of this one is, since a 2-brick height will still leave the side studs slightly wider than 2-stud spacing, and making it shorter to fix the spacing will leave it about 1-tile short of 2-brick height).

10. 1x1 log brick (I remember someone lamenting its non-existence a few days ago).

11. Either a 1x1 version of this part or this part without the dangly plate (not sure which part inspired it, but it’s essentially the same destination).

12. Studless 2x2 macaroni brick.

13. At first glance it appears to be a tile version of 3x3 plate w/ round corner, but the curved edge sticks out a bit too far. I’m guessing it’s actually a 2x2 tile with a 1-stud radius on the corner (like the 3x3 plate has a 2-stud radius, rather than like the 4x4 plate which has a 4-stud radius). There are no other parts that I can think of with a matching radius that aren’t completely round (2x2 round brick, 2x2 round dome, 2x2 cone, etc.), so I’m really confused as to why this part would even be included in the wish list.

14. Tile for the 2x2 macaroni brick (presumedly an alternative solution to having #12 made?).

15. Tile version of 3x6 plate without corners.

16. Tile version of 3x3 plate without corner.

17. Hollow version of the R2-D2 head, as compared to this part, which is not just taller, but also has tapered sides.

18a-e. New flower colors.

19. Either a short version of this part or this part, or a non-corner version of this part. Again, I’m not sure which piece inspired

20. 4-wide version of this (Why just a 4-wide, and not a 2-wide or 1-wide?).

21. This is the one I had the most trouble with. It appears to be a 10 degree version of this piece, but the concave side doesn’t look nearly large enough to work. Based on the size of the 45 degree version, and the standard 10 degree slope, it’d have to be 12x12 to have matching concave/convex slopes.

22. 33 degree faceted triple-slope. This is a partial exception because I can tell exactly what it is, but not what it’s based on. The closest I could come up with is this part, but it’s 45/33/45, with a very different overall design.

22a. Just the unique corner section of Part #22.

23. 33 degree version of this part.
