Word Hunt Diamond - Game 74 Tues 31 Aug 2021

[Mi-Amigo]

Welcome to the Word Hunt Diamond - Game 74

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:

                                                                                         P

                                                                                    A      B

                                                                                 E     Y     R

                                                                                     T     U

                                                                                         L

This week`s target is 74 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 Y.

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, BABY isn`t allowed]

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

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 74 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...

I`ve never given an award for player who found "most words not in the list", but if there was one today, you

might well be in the running as you`ve found all 5 words "not in the list" so far 😂

@Cleoriff 

Is this going to be an additional feature for WHD?

I`m OK with that as I can keep a record of who posted a "Word Not In The List".

You might have competition if the regular wordsmiths @pgn and @BobM, who have come up with "Words Not In The List" as the game heats up towards the end, start giving me words I`ve never heard of and aren`t in the list 😂
