[Game] Word Hunt Diamond - Game 1

[Mi-Amigo]

Hello everyone

Do you enjoy wordsearch, Scrabble, anagrams? Then you might like a brand new game -

                                                               The Word Hunt Diamond

The game is open to all members.

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

This week`s grid is as follows:

                                                                          H

                                                                      N      C

                                                                   I       P      A

                                                                       L      G

                                                                           E

This week`s target is 75 words using only the letters in the grid.

Each word must contain four letters or more and must include the red letter.

No proper names are allowed.

Each letter in the grid can only be used once in each word [so, for example, PIPE wouldn`t be allowed].

Of course, words do not have to start with the red letter.

Only one word per post and please wait until someone else has posted before posting again.

There is one nine-letter word using all the letters in the grid. 

Regular updates will be given of the words found and the number of words still to be found.

Good luck everyone
