[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

Welcome to the quiz @AnnieM. Thank you for playing along.

I can confirm that PAGNE is not in the list or one of the 13 words in the spoiler - but as it is in Merriam-Webster dictionary as a native African costume, it is allowed and is another to add to the list.

Well done

Hi @Mi-Amigo 

I think I'm out.  I seem to know the answers to three of them. Trouble is, the don't fit the criteria, or the letters in the diamond

A question. The name of a rabbit.

Is that what people may call a rabbit ie like 'Flopsy' or another name for a rabbit species?

Thanks for playing @Cleoriff and finding so many words...

As to the rabbit. It is not the name of a rabbit like "Flopsy" but another general name for a rabbit.

The dictionary definition reads...

"... rabbit, specifically male castrated rabbit"

Hope that helps  and you might consider a guess 

[Cleoriff]

Then it's a LAPIN.... lol

Thanks for the very specific clue
