Word Hunt Diamond - Game 43

[Mi-Amigo]

Welcome to the Word Hunt Diamond - Game 43

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

                                                                              E       O

                                                                          P      N      R

                                                                              D      G

                                                                                  U

This week`s target is 72 words - using only the letters in the diamond - including one 9-letter word

The rules:

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

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, NEED is not allowed].

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

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   @MI5 

  @jonsie    @madasaf1sh   @Anonymous    @LukasB    @TheresaV    @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 72 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...

Thank you @Cleoriff and @Bambino 

Pleased you enjoyed the game, which was tight-run again towards the end with so many words not in the list being found. Well done and thanks everyone for the team effort in solving this game.

Yes, thank you @Mi-Amigo for running this hot game - gets the brain cells firing madly. And makes the forum's servers earn their keep, judging by the odd lags I saw this morning.

I love WONDERPUG @pgn

Reminds me of Frankie in MIB, @LukasB:

Thank you @pgn

Pleased you enjoyed the game - even if the filter didn`t like one of your contributions

and I love Wonderpugs - fits in nicely with the Diamond Dogs of Words

Great one again @Mi-Amigo, this is becoming my favourite (also as I don't seem to be scoring so well on the WRQ :D)

Can't wait for next week's!
