[Game] Word Hunt Diamond - Game 10

[Mi-Amigo]

Hi Word Hunters and welcome to the tenth 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 "diamond" is as follows:

                                                                          N

                                                                      D      I

                                                                  E       F     R

                                                                      G      A

                                                                          Y

This week`s target is 68 words using only the letters in the diamond.

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

No proper names are allowed.

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

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

Only one word per post.

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 on each page [so as to avoid scrolling back] of the words found and the number of words still to be found.

This game is open to all members. New members, and those who have not played before, are welcome to join in with previous and regular players -

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

Last week, six players, between them, not only found all 62 words in the list in the source used for the game, but five, between them, also found 27 words not in the list.

As requested by the "regulars", this week`s Word Hunt Diamond is one with a target of 68 words with a harder red letter which must be included in all the answers, including one nine-letter word. 

Can you, the members, crack this week`s Word Hunt Diamond; and also find additional words which are not in the list?

Good luck everyone

Thank you for sticking with it @Cleoriff . I know it hasn`t been the easiest Word Hunt Diamond with a harder red letter

NIEF

[pgn]

5th out of 11 teams. Good fun!

REDFIN

[Cleoriff]

@pgn 

I said REDFIN HERE  though for some reason it didn't make it to the list?

[pgn]

Oops. OK, how about...

REFIND

?

[Mi-Amigo]

@jonsie 

NEIF is not in the list but is in Merriam Webster dictionary [serf] so is allowed as word not in the list

NIEF is not in the list but is in Merriam Webster dictionary as alternative spelling of NEIF so is allowed as word not in the list

@pgn 

REDFIN is correct but was found by @Cleoriff [apologies for omitting it from list]

REFIND is correct and in the list

I have rechecked the list of words and taking REDFIN into account [which I missed off the list] and with REFIND now found, the game is completed. Well done everyone  

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @gmarkj ; @EmilieT ; @Cleoriff ; @Bambino ; @pgn ; @jonsie ; @BobM for playing.

Between you, you found all 68 words in the list in the source which I used for the game. In addition, @pgn ; @gmarkj ; @Bambino ; @jonsie ; @BobM ; @Cleoriff found 14 words not in the list.

I hope everyone enjoyed playing and will join in the next Word Hunt Diamond next week

Good game, @Mi-Amigo - always good to stimulate the little grey cells, as Poirot would say.
