Word Hunt Diamond - Game 83

[Mi-Amigo]

Welcome to the Word Hunt Diamond - Game 83

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

                                                                                   I       O   

                                                                               H     N     K  

                                                                                   R      T

                                                                                       V

This week`s target is 73 words - using only the letters in the diamond - including one 9-letter word.

PLEASE NOTE:

During the game, I will have to STOP the game periodically so I can give updates of words found.

Please be patient and wait. I hope this does not cause too much delay or disruption to the game. 

Towards the end of the game, as soon as the LAST WORD in the list is given, I will post an announcement

- LAST WORD FOUND. PLEASE STOP THE GAME - 

and I will then post my reply to the words given up to the announcement, showing whether the word is in the list or is a word not in the list; 

after that, I will post the Congratulations - who found the last word; who found the nine-letter word; and who gave the most words not in the list up to when I posted the announcement LAST WORD FOUND, PLEASE STOP THE GAME.

I will be giving awards to players

  star  - to the player who finds the nine-letter word

 trophy - to the 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 up to when announcement -

     LAST WORD FOUND, PLEASE STOP THE GAME [words given after the announcement will not count]

The rules:

No proper names are allowed.

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

Scottish words and American spellings are allowed.

Each letter in the grid can only be used once in each word [for example, NOON isn`t allowed]

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

Only one word per post.

Please wait until someone else has posted before posting again.

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   @Anonymous   @BobM   @Bambino   @gmarkj   @TallTrees   @RafaC   @Projectionist 

  @MI5   @lewys-gp   @jonsie 

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

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

Good luck everyone and have fun...

[Mi-Amigo]

Yes if you REPLY to someone, it stays next to that post until someone refreshes the page @Anonymous 

That's why it's so hard for @Mi-Amigo to keep track of the words.

[Bambino]

Thanks @Mi-Amigo. Congratulations @Cleoriff and everyone else in the game. Apologies for joining so late. 

[Cleoriff]

Well done everyone and @Bambino  for finding the last word. Great game @Mi-Amigo ...just in time foe my appointment xx

[Mi-Amigo]

No apologies necessary @Bambino - given the time difference.

Pleased you were able to join in the game this week and well done on finding the last word in the list.

A great team effort.

@Cleoriff Yes but look at the time NOW - 14:11 and 14:10 How can my answer be timed as before the post I'm answering? 

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @Cleoriff 

Pleased you enjoyed the game and well done on getting a double award this week - finding the nine-letter word; and also finding the most words not in the list up to notice to stop the game when last word found.

Timing was a little tight towards the end but glad you were able to stay.

Hope all goes well with your appointment.

@Mi-Amigo Sorry I had to attend to work, the steward is okay at flying level (-ish) But I have to do the landing bit.

These little side-notes really add to the fun of this game - apart from time taken wiping the tea splatters off the screen, thank you @Anonymous 🤣

Well done to all players today, great game - the Weird Word Winner challenge is bringing out some odd offerings, making for lots of dictionary digging all-round - so a huge thank you to @Mi-Amigo here!

[RafaC]

Well done guys and thanks @Mi-Amigo for another enjoyable round of WHD game!

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @pgn 

The banter between players does add to the fun and the search for Words Not In The List adds another element which makes the game a little competitive and brings out a bit of friendly rivalry.

Thank you @RafaC 

Pleased you enjoyed the game and had the chance to take part.
