Word Hunt Diamond - Game 86

[Mi-Amigo]

Welcome to the Word Hunt Diamond - Game 86

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:                    

                                                                                        W

                                                                                     R     T   

                                                                                 H     L     O  

                                                                                     C     F

                                                                                         A

This week`s target is 56 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 L.

Scottish words and American spellings are allowed.

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

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

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

Can you, between you, not only find the 56 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...
