Hi Word Hunters and welcome to the sixth 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
H R
N I C
A B
O
This week`s target is 82 words using only the letters in the diamond.
Each word must contain four letters or more and must include the red letter I.
No proper names are allowed.
Each letter in the grid can only be used once in each word [for example, CHILL wouldn`t be allowed].
Of course, words do not have to start with the red letter I
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. I look forward to welcoming new members and those who have not played before who join in with previous and regular players -
@Cleoriff ; @gmarkj ; @BobM ; @EmilieT ; @jonsie ; @Bambino ; @Marjo ; @AnnieM ; @Anonymous ; @pgn
Last week, nine players, between them, found all 73 words in the list in the source used for the game; and, in addition, four of them, between them, also found extra words not in the list.
This week`s Word Hunt Diamond is a little trickier - with a target of 82 words, including almost the same number of four-letter and five-letter words [some of which are very obscure] and 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

RABIC is correct and in the list
this is the LAST word in the list, so game is finished
NICOL is not in the list but is in Collins dictionary - not as a girl`s name but as a device for producing polarized light so is allowed as word not in the list.
Thank you - @Anonymous ; @EmilieT ; @Cleoriff ; @gmarkj ; @Bambino ; @Marjo ; @pgn ; @BobM , who between you found all 82 words in the list in the source used for this game.
Special thanks must go to @Cleoriff ; @EmilieT ; @gmarkj ; @pgn ; @Bambino ; @jonsie , who between them found 23 words not in the list.
I hope that each and everyone of you enjoyed the game, which I thought was slightly more difficult than previous Word Hunt Diamond games, but you all proved you are wordsmiths.
I`ll have a look at what I can offer for the next game and will post on here tomorrow.

Thanks @pgn [I know you were joking]; @jonsie ; and @BobM
I`m really pleased you all enjoyed the game @pgn .
As I`ve said before, when you guys find a word not in the list, I check it - usually in Merriam-Webster dictionary [if its not in there, I`ll check other dictionary sources]. I love words and am always amazed at how many words you guys find which I have never come across before.
From previous comments, I believe that the majority prefer Word Hunt Diamond game not to include the letter "S" [to avoid just adding it to make plurals].
As I said, I`ll have a look tomorrow but if you want to suggest the target number of words and/or whether it should be harder or easier than this one please feel free to post your opinions and comments.
