[Game] Word Hunt Diamond - Game 14

[Mi-Amigo]

Hi Word Hunters and welcome to the 14th 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:

                                                                           L

                                                                       T      Z

                                                                   O     E     K

                                                                        I      R

                                                                           H

This week`s target is 62 words - using only the letters in the diamond - and includes one 9-letter word [but no 8-letter word] to find. 

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

No proper names are allowed.

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

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

Only one word per post.

Please wait until someone else has posted before posting again.

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.

Last week`s players - @Cleoriff ; @EmilieT ; @pgn ; @gmarkj ; @Bambino ; @JAZZ-trad ; @BobM ; and

@TallTrees - between them, not only found all the words in the list in the source used for the game, but also found words not in the list.

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 

@Mi-Amigo

Thank you @Cleoriff 

This is the first - out of 14 games so far - in which the players have not only completed the game in under 12 hours [most taking considerably longer] but smashed that - by finishing the game in 9 hours 31 mins [from time the grid was posted to time of post with the last word in the grid].

ADVANCED NOTICE:

With the Advent Calendar due to start, the Word Hunt Diamond will be taking a short break.

But worry not word hunt diamond fans, the Word Hunt Diamond will return on Tuesday 31 December

- with an "end of the year" special, which will be the biggest, toughest challenge yet...

More info

The target is 90 words, with one 9-letter word and 6 8-letter words in the list in the source used for this game. There is no "S" in the diamond to make plurals. There is a less common letter as the red letter.

FUN FACTS AND FIGURES:

So far, there have been 14 Word Hunt Diamond games.

A total of 14 members have taken part in one or more Word Hunt Diamond games: thank you

@Cleoriff ; @pgn ; @Bambino ; @gmarkj ; @BobM ; @EmilieT ; @Marjo ; @Anonymous ; @jonsie;

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

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

It has been an absolute pleasure to organise and run the Word Hunt Diamond games, which - as long as you want them - will continue...

Although it is perhaps a little early and premature but I would like to take this opportunity to present a new Word Hunt Diamond. It is not a game or a puzzle but a message to each and everyone of you

Woops... well if I`m gonna make a mistake might as well make it a big un...

In fact, the game did not break the 12 hour barrier but took 1 day 9 hours 31 mins...

So far, no game has been completed in less than 12 hours from time of grid being posted - so that`s another challenge...

I`ll go and sit on the Naughty Step [now it`s being cleaned]

You are excused. I'm sure your head was spinning.
