Word Hunt Diamond - Game 73 Tues 24 Aug 2021

[Mi-Amigo]

Welcome to the Word Hunt Diamond - Game 73

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:

                                                                                       R

                                                                                   C       E

                                                                                 I     K      L

                                                                                   N      O

                                                                                        T

This week`s target is 73 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 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, KEEN isn`t 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.

PLEASE NOTE: I will have to call a STOP to the game periodically so I can give updates of words found. Please be patient and wait whilst this is being done and hope it does not cause too much delay or disruption to the game. 

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   @Anonymous   @pgn   @Anonymous   @BobM   @Bambino   @gmarkj   @Projectionist   @MI5 

@TheresaV   @TallTrees   @jonsie   @LukasB 

any member who has not played before or has not played for a while; and any new member will join in and play today`s WHD.

Can you, between you, not only find the 73 words in the list [in the source used for this game], and

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

Good luck everyone and have fun...

@Mi-Amigo 

[Bambino]

Thank you @Mi-Amigo and congratulations @Cleoriff and well done all. Sorry I was so late to the game.

[Cleoriff]

Well done @Bambino xx Good job you joined in. Great game @Mi-Amigo (even if there were some gaps with people having to work ...or going to sit in the sun)  Well done everyone anyway..... Thanks @Mi-Amigo  for all your hard work.

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @Bambino .

Well done on getting the last word in the list.

No apology necessary for you joining in later - given the time-difference where you are. I appreciate you taking part.

Thanks, @Mi-Amigo - great game today, everyone, even if the Forum shows things out of sync occasionally, until it shuffles the post back into the right place on the thread timeline - caught me and possibly @Cleoriff out early-on 😆

That resulted in me getting this error once this morning: 

 

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @Cleoriff 

Pleased you enjoyed the game and well done on getting the nine-letter word to start this game.

To be honest, I thought this might be a tougher game and take longer as red-letter K is not a common one [last time K was red-letter was over six months ago] and there were some very obscure words to find.

And well done on the great team effort finding all those words not in the list.  

[Cleoriff]

PS I just have to say this, I know you have great difficulty with this new forum layout @Mi-Amigo' Particularly when someone answers a particular post (and others have posted after) it throws the continuity out of sync.

So, damn well done on managing to keep us updated, even though it takes a bit longer. I couldn't do it. You deserve a medal. 🎖

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @pgn 

Pleased you enjoyed the game and well done coming up with some of the obscure words not in the list.

Fortunately I did not experience too much of a problem with the forum being of sync and I`m grateful to everyone for waiting whilst I do the Updates. 

[pgn]

Continuity, that's the word, @Cleoriff 👍😎

[BobM]

Thanks for another good game @Mi-Amigo. I'm afraid I was out more than in this time but well done to all who took part.

Thank you @Cleoriff for your kind words.

With the major problem the OP at top of every page being resolved, being able to extend the Reply Box, and copy and paste of previous Update has made running this WHD a little easier - as I`m getting used to the new format.

As to the Updates, they do take me longer than under the previous format, so I`m grateful that everyone is OK with waiting when I have to call a STOP to do an Update.

I don`t think I deserve a medal. The satisfaction of running a game which so many enjoy is reward enough.

As I said when the WHD had to be postponed due to the issues, I love words and running WHD is a pleasure and hopefully nothing will stop this - one of the most popular games - which is loved by the Diamond Dogs Of Words who regularly take part and those who enjoy watching WHD.
