Word Hunt Diamond - Game 59

[Mi-Amigo]

Welcome to the Word Hunt Diamond - Game 59

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:

                                                                                     A

                                                                                 T      U

                                                                              D     E     F

                                                                                  G     I

                                                                                      M

This week`s target is 76 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 E.

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, FEED is not allowed].

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

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 

  @TheresaV   @LukasB   @O2EmmaLouise   @jonsie   @Cairdeas 

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 76 words in the list [in the source used for this game], and

the nine-letter word, but also find additional words not in the list ?

Good luck everyone and have fun...

Thank you @Mi-Amigo. Congrats @Cleoriff.

Well done all, I'm going back to bed.:smileywink:

[BobM]

Well done everyone and to @Bambino  for finding the final word.

Quick game today.  Thank you @Mi-Amigo 

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @Bambino for joining in the game - as I know it is a very early start for you.

Pleased you enjoyed the game and well done on finding the last word. 

Thank you @BobM 

It was a very quick game today and hard to keep up with the pace at times.

Pleased you enjoyed the game.

Well done @Bambino for finding the last word. Certainly get yourself back to bed...it's 05.55 where you are. Congrats one and all.  It was a mad fast game today

Brilliant @Mi-Amigo . Loved it.

[TheresaV]

Well done everyone! Really enjoyed this one @Mi-Amigo, thank you 

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @Cleoriff and @TheresaV 

Pleased you both enjoyed the game.

As said, it was a mad fast game.

I`ve just checked

the first word was given by @Cleoriff at 08.33 and the last word was given by @Bambino at 10.33 - which means

this game was solved in 2 hours 10 mins - just outside the current record of 2 hrs 05 mins

but a great team effort given the target.

You are good at maths @Mi-Amigo ...this game was solved 5 minutes later than the record. So how many words to find  in the record breaking one (as THIS game had 76 words?)

Just taking that into consideration

Edited to add...if the first word was found at 8.33am - and last one10.33am... that's 2 hrs, not 2 hrs 10 minutes?

Thanks @Mi-Amigo for another brilliant game!

The thread moved incredibly fast at times and I couldn't keep up 

[Mi-Amigo]

Thanks @Cleoriff 

There was a typo on my previous post about the record.

This game started at 08.23 [NOT 08.33] and the last word was found at 10.33 - so it did take 2hrs 10mins

- which is 130 mins to find 76 words 

I`ve checked back and the record was in Game 51 - solved in 2hrs 05mins

- which was 125 mins to find 70 words.

Comparing the two games - on mins to find target 

- today`s Game 59 - was 130 mins to find 76 words [130 mins divided by 76 words = 1.71 mins per word]

record -  Game 51 - was 125 mins to find 70 words [125 mins divided by 70 words = 1.785 mins per word]

so today`s WHD was solved quicker [based on mins per word]

Thank you @O2EmmaLouise 

Pleased you enjoyed the game.

As you`ll see from the maths in my post above, this was an incredibly fast game
