Word Hunt Diamond Game 53

[Mi-Amigo]

Welcome to the Word Hunt Diamond - Game 53

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:

                                                                                     T

                                                                                 A     E

                                                                              L     V     R

                                                                                 I       U

                                                                                     C

This week`s target is 74 words - using only the letters in the diamond - including TWO 9-letter words.

Yes, there are TWO nine-letter words in the list [in the source used for this game] to find this time.

The rules:

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

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, LEVER is not allowed].

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

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

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 74 words in the list [in the source used for this game], the TWO nine-letter words, and, as in previous games, also find additional words not in the list ?

Good luck everyone and have fun...
