Welcome to the Word Hunt Diamond - Game 87
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:
Y
T R
O F I
L M
A
This week`s target is 66 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 F.
Scottish words and American spellings are allowed.
Each letter in the grid can only be used once in each word [for example, FOOL isn`t allowed]
Of course, words do not have to start with the red letter F
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 @MI5 @Projectionist @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 66 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...

FARL is not in the list but in dictionaries so allowed as word not in the list
FILO is correct and in the list - and the last word in the list
FILO was done earlier, @Mi-Amigo
Ahh I checked the latest list before posting and didn't see soooo.
Either way, if you take it back to the FRAT from me..... THAT was the last word on the list then? @Mi-Amigo and @pgn ?

Yes, super game, @Mi-Amigo - and the forum slipping posts up or down the list hampered the game end. In the spirit of FRATernity, I agree with @Cleoriff - was mainly the two of us at the end anyway.
Good work earlier, it went at a fair lick earlier, loadsa peeps! 👍

leap-frogging posts and refreshing page after posts to blame.
I`ve re-checked from last Update = 61 words found; 5 to find; 11 not in the list
After that - these posts
@pgn FILO - correct = 4 to find
@pgn ROLF - not in list = 12 not in list
@Cleoriff FROM - correct = 3 to find
@pgn ITFAR - not in list = 13 not in list
@Cleoriff FARO - correct = 2 to find
@pgn ALIF - correct -= 1 to find
@Cleoriff - FRAT - correct = last word in list
So @Cleoriff - nine-letter word and last word in list
@pgn AND @Cleoriff - most words not in list = 4 each [ @BobM = 3; @TallTrees = 1; @gmarkj = 1]
Awards
star - nine-letter word @Cleoriff
trophy - last word in list @Cleoriff
diamond dog - most words not in list @Cleoriff and @pgn = 4 each
