[Game] Word Hunt Diamond to return on Mon 30 Dec - Advanced Notice

Mi-Amigo — Fri, 27 Dec 2019 10:06:46 GMT

The Word Hunt Diamond is a game open to all members.

Each week, a grid of nine letters in a diamond is posted with a target number of word to find using only the letters in the grid.

After a short break during the festive period, the Word Hunt Diamond - game 15 - is due to return on

Monday 30 December 2019.

As it will be the 15th Word Hunt Diamond game, and the last one for 2019, this "end of the year" game will be the toughest one so far...

The target will be 90 words - the largest so far - with not only one nine-letter word but also six eight letter words to find, with many obscure seven, six, five, and four letter words to find.

A total of 14 members have taken part in one or more of the 14 Word Hunt Diamond games so far:

@Cleoriff ; @pgn ; @Bambino ; @gmarkj ; @Bob_Mcg ; @EmilieT ; @Marjo ; @WispaRed7 ; @jonsie;

@TallTrees ; @JAZZ-trad ; @MI5 ; @AnnieM ; @Dothrakigirl19

and over the 14 Word Hunt Diamond games, have found 948 words in the target; plus 259 words not in the list - a grand total of 1207 words in 14 games.

The Word Hunt Diamond game is open to all members. New members and those who have not played before are welcome to join the "regulars" in tackling the Word Hunt Diamond "end of the year" game

There will be no date limit - and the game [if not solved] will continue on New Years Eve and New Years Day. Can you, together, not only solved the game and find all 90 words in the list, but also find additional words not in the list - and break through the 100-word ceiling?

I look forward to seeing you all in the new game on Monday.

Good luck

Bring it on @Mi-Amigo .

Getting a bit tired of Word Association nowadays. In fact I might shove it on TNS for a week or two.

So I will look forward to Word Diamond.

Thanks @Cleoriff .

Good to know that you will be playing...

Oh and I forgot to mention - the "end of the year" game has no letter "s" so makes it a bit harder as it can`t be added to words to make plurals; plus the red letter, which has to be included in each word, is not one of the more common letters [such as "e"]...

Oooops. Sorry @Cleoriff ... I didn`t mean to take anything from you, only meant "Pfftttt" had made an appearance over the festive season... So if it IS the word of 2019, then you should be credited...

I just find Pfftttt an effective way of not swearing (or if I want to dismiss a comment or show disdain)
