Word Hunt Diamond - Game 40 Seasonal Ed

[Mi-Amigo]

Welcome to the Word Hunt Diamond - Game 40

The game is open to all members.

Each week, a grid of nine letters in a diamond will be posted.

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.

This week`s "diamond" is as follows:

                                                                                 W

                                                                             S        F

                                                                         L       K      N

                                                                             A       E

                                                                                  O

This week`s target is 70 words - using only the letters in the diamond - including one 9-letter word

As today`s Word Hunt Diamond game is part of 🎅🏻 🎄Christmas On The Community, the 9-letter word is in some way associated with this festive season, but other words in the target are not.

The rules:

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

No proper names are allowed.

Scottish words and American spellings are allowed.

Each letter in the grid can only be used once in each word [for example, SEEK is not 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.

I will endeavour to give regular updates on each page [so as to avoid scrolling back] of the words found and the number of words still to be found.

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    @BobM   @TallTrees   @Anonymous   @Bambino    @gmarkj 

   @jonsie       @madasaf1sh     @Anonymous    @LukasB    @Marjo 

and any member who has not played before, or any new member will join in and play today`s WHD.

Can you, between you, not only find the 70 words in the list [in the source used for this game], but, 

as in previous games, also find additional words not in the list ?

Good luck everyone and have fun...

Well done everyone. Great game @Mi-Amigo 

Congrats @pgn  for getting the nine letter and last word.

I've changed my post, as it was meant as a joke, though I think it was misconstrued.

Note to self, be careful, otherwise folk will think you are being snidey.

[BobM]

Congrats to @pgn  on finding the last word and thanks again to @Mi-Amigo  for running the game.

Another good one, well done all 

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @pgn 

Well done on getting the nine-letter word and the last word

Thank you @Cleoriff 

I`m pleased enjoyed the game. I don`t think you original post [before you edited it] was snidey.

In fact, @pgn didn`t get the first word - @TallTrees did  but you did come up with a few words not in the list and I thank you for holding up the game so I could catch up and give update.

Thank you @BobM 

Pleased you enjoyed the game. It was very close again towards the end.

No, just the last one, @Cleoriff.

Gobsmacked I got the 9-letter one first, early Asda man? 😉

[TallTrees]

Well done @pgn finding final word...
Managed to just get first word in...any old word truly 😁
Well done all ..
Such a race 🏁
F1 got nothin' on this.
Thank you @Mi-Amigo for putting up the game and staying in control...🤣🤣
See you next time⏱

[Cleoriff]

I actually edited that post @pgn .

I meant it as a joke and then thought people would think I was being snidey.

Not Asda, not coming until 11-1 today (and still waiting)

I was answering a post from the stack of unanswered ones, when Mi-Amigo posted the game.

I didn't feel I could sit there with 'pen poised' waiting for WHD.

Lovely picture BTW.

I saw the mention. @Cleoriff, but not until I woke up.

Will do, @jonsie, but I'm not sure you'll hear me.
