Word Hunt Diamond - Game 75

[Mi-Amigo]

Welcome to the Word Hunt Diamond - Game 75

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:

                                                                                        E

                                                                                    L      M

                                                                                N     O      P

                                                                                    I       G

                                                                                        Y

This week`s target is 77 words - using only the letters in the diamond - including one 9-letter word.

From this game on, I will be giving awards to players

star      - to player who finds the nine-letter word

trophy - to player who finds the last word in the list in the source used for the game

diamond dog - to the player who finds the most words not in the list before the end of the game.

The rules:

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

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, MOON isn`t allowed]

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

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 77 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...

Thank you @Anonymous @pgn @Cleoriff 

Pleased you enjoyed the game and well done each of you on your award.

I hope the award for finding "the most words not in the list" adds to the fun and is a bit of a challenge.

This game did take much longer than usual but hope this didn`t spoil it.

Not at all, in fact I felt sneaky putting in words 'out of turn' nearing the end, so glad somebody else won 😳

Didn't spoil a thing for me @Mi-Amigo , I was fast asleep in 28c heat with two fans blowing on me. Great. 😂
