Word Hunt Diamond - Game 144

[Mi-Amigo]

Welcome to

The Word Hunt Diamond Game is open to all members.

The aim of the game is to find the target number of words [as in the source used for the game] using only the letters in the grid.

Today`s Word Hunt Diamond has the following grid.... 

                                                                                              A

                                                                                         M       N  

                                                                                       I      D       E  

                                                                                          T       U

                                                                                               G

This week`s target is a target of 91 words - using only letters in the diamond - inc one 9-letter word.

With a larger target, it is likely that the game will not be completed by lunch [as in previous WHD],

so those at work or who have other commitments will have the chance to join in later. The game will continue through the evening and if not finished by the time I have to go will continue tomorrow [Wed] morning.  

 RULES

No proper names are allowed.

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

Scottish words and American spellings are allowed.

Each letter in the grid can only be used once in each word 

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

Each player may post up to two words per post.

Please wait until someone else has posted before posting again but if the game is running slow,

and no-one has posted for at least 10 mins, then a player may post again. 

PLEASE NOTE:

During the game, I will have to STOP the game periodically so I can give updates of words found.

Please be patient and wait. I hope this does not cause too much delay or disruption to the game. 

Towards the end of the game, as soon as the LAST WORD in the list is given, I will post an announcement - LAST WORD FOUND. PLEASE STOP THE GAME - and I will then post my reply to the words given up to the announcement, showing whether the word is in the list or is a word not in the list; after that, I will post the Congratulations - who found the last word; who found the nine-letter word; and who gave the most words not in the list up to when I posted the announcement LAST WORD FOUND, PLEASE STOP THE GAME.

I will be giving awards to players 

 - for finding the nine-letter word

    - for finding the last word in the list in the source used for the game

  - for finding the most words not in the list up to when announcement

                       LAST WORD FOUND, PLEASE STOP THE GAME [words after announcement will not count]

The Word Hunt Diamond game is open to all members.

I hope the Diamond Dogs of Words [thanks @pgn for the term] - those who have played in previous

Word Hunt Diamond games - including

@Cleoriff  @pgn @gmarkj @BobM @J9el @TallTrees 

and any member who has not played before or has not played for a while; and any new member will join in and play today`s WHD.

Can you, between you, not only find the 91 words in the list [in the source used for this game], and the nine-letter word in this WHD game, but also find additional words not in the list ?

Good luck everyone and have fun...

LAST WORD IN LIST - ANTED - found by @Cleoriff 

All words given after that - and there are god-knows how many - are not in the list and do not count in the "words not in the list"

A total of 40 words not in the list were found before last word in the list was found -

@Cleoriff found 18; @TallTrees found 8; @pgn found 11; @J9el found 1; @Patricia1066 found 1; 

@gmarkjfound 1.

"Back in 2 weeks"

that will just give me enough time to recover from this epic 

Thank you for the quiz @Mi-Amigo 

@Cleoriff for tenacity to the end 

Whilst I frazzled 🤯

Congratulations @Cleoriff for being amazing at this game, to @pgn for being on my wavelength so much that we had the same word and submitted it within a minute of each other! To @TallTrees for being amazing while at work, or when supposed to be working 😂

Thanks @Mi-Amigo for a great game 

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @Patricia1066 for taking part in your first WHD and your comments about/to the other wordsmiths.

[Cleoriff]

Crikey...well done everyone for this massive effort. Didn't expect it still to be going when I logged back on...

Thanks @Mi-Amigo for the game and all your hard work. See you April 4th

Yay! Well done all, and nice to read some of the commentary! I had to bow out at 8pm, regular pub quiz night - which was very successful tonight, first with an all-time high (for us!) score of 138 out of 162, and bagged a prize in the half-time draw to boot 👍

True @Patricia1066 

I think there are a few "allowed" work escapes though - comfort and coffee -

although these could have been long breaks!

Good you could join in too.
