Welcome to the Word Hunt Diamond - Game 49
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:
U
B R
L C A
N O
I
This week`s target is 68 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 C.
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, CALL is not allowed].
Of course, words do not have to start with the red letter C
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 @Cairdeas [who has expressed an interest]
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 68 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...

CAROLI is not in the list but in dictionaries so allowed as word not in the list
LORICA is correct and in the list
CONGRATULATIONS @Cleoriff
AURIC was the last word to find in the list in this Word Hunt Diamond
and also CONGRATULATIONS @MI5 on finding the nine-letter word in this game - just beating @Cleoriff to it
Thank you
@Cleoriff @MI5 @pgn @BobM @Cairdeas
for taking part in this game. I hope you all enjoyed this Word Hunt Game.
Well done everyone for not only finding the 68 words in the list but additional 27 words not in the list including 14 words found after the last word was given.
Plus, you Diamond Dogs of Words have smashed the record and have solved this game in an amazing
2hrs 25mins !!!
The Word Hunt Diamond will be back next Tuesday - 2 March 2021 - with the 50th Word Hunt Diamond game.
To celebrate, there will be a new game, with a similar target but different set of letters and different red-letter and might be a little trickier to solve. I hope all the Diamond Dogs of Words, including those who missed out on today`s game, will join in next Tuesday.
Thank you

Thank you @pgn @Cleoriff @BobM
Pleased you enjoyed the game and yes a stunning performance at break-neck speed today which certainly kept me on my toes.
As @pgn said it is good to see a new player - @Cairdeas - taking part.
Well done each and everyone who took part and as a team smashed the record, which I now think will take some beating.
