[Game] Word Hunt Diamond - Game 17

[Mi-Amigo]

Hi Word Hunters.

                             Welcome to the 17th 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

                                                                       E      A

                                                                   T      K      G

                                                                       C      R

                                                                            I

This week`s target is 69 words - using only the letters in the diamond - and includes one 9-letter word to find. 

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

No proper names are allowed.

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

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

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.

A warm welcome to all members, and those who have not played before, for joining in the game with the regular players including

  @Cleoriff ; @pgn ; @gmarkj ; @Bambino ; @jonsie  ;@JAZZ-trad ; @Bob_Mcg ;  @Marjo ; @TallTrees ; @OldFart -

who, previously, have, between them, not only found all the words in the list in the source used for the game, but have 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

TRACKIE

[Mi-Amigo]

@jonsie 

TRACKIE is correct and in the list [seven-letter word]

[jonsie]

CAKIER

[Mi-Amigo]

@jonsie 

CAKIER is not in the list. It is in an Urban Dictionary as a "made-up" word for product better than "boxed cake", so I`ll allow it as word not in the list. It is not the six-letter word in the list.

[jonsie]

KANGRI

[Mi-Amigo]

@jonsie 

KANGRI is not in the list but is in Merriam Webster Dictionary - earthenware basket used as warming stove in Kashmir - so is allowed as word not in list - great find late in the game 

wonder where everyone else is... ? looks like game could be finished soon...

[Cleoriff]

Well @jonsie pinched my last two so I'm thinking!!
