Welcome to the Word Hunt Diamond - Game 84
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
E I
D G M
N T
U
This week`s target is 63 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 G.
Scottish words and American spellings are allowed.
Each letter in the grid can only be used once in each word [for example, GENIE isn`t allowed]
Of course, words do not have to start with the red letter G
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 @lewys-gp
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 63 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...

Thank you

for taking part in this game.
I hope you all enjoyed this Word Hunt Game.
Well done everyone in your team effort in finding the 63 words in the list in the source used for this game and 33 words not in the list but in dictionaries so allowed before the notice to stop the game when last word found.
THE AWARDS
star - for finding the nine-letter words = @Cleoriffto stop the game when last word found = @Cleoriff who found 17 out of the 33 words not in the list
[ @pgn found 16]
Apologies for few problems I had during the game and hope it didn`t spoil it.
The Word Hunt Diamond will be back next Tuesday - 23 Nov 2021 with a different target and different set of letters and different red-letter. I hope all the Diamond Dogs of Words will join in next Tuesday.

Sorry the progress today was proving difficult to track for updates, @Mi-Amigo - it takes an iron will to keep up when it starts lagging like that.
Well done on the triple, @Cleoriff 👍
And well done all participants - broadly similar magnitude of on-list and off-list words today, so dictionary wear at a premium 😁

Thank you @Cleoriff @RafaC @pgn
Pleased you enjoyed the game.
I think this game showed that despite a smaller target [63 words in the list], it wasn`t quite as easy to solve and there were some obscure words not in the list.
A great team effort by everyone who took part and congratulations to @Cleoriff and getting all three awards this time.
