Word Hunt Diamond - Game 96

[Mi-Amigo]

Welcome to the Word Hunt Diamond - Game 96

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 

                                                                                     L       M   

                                                                                  R     Y       T  

                                                                                     N       O

                                                                                          I

This week`s target is 60 words - using only letters in the diamond - inc TWO 9-letter words - and all words must be four letters or more and include the red-letter Y.

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 each player who finds one of the two the nine-letter words

    [two  to one player, if that player finds both nine-letter words]

 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 Y.

Scottish words and American spellings are allowed.

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

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

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 60 words in the list [in the source used for this game], and the

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

Good luck everyone and have fun...

[Mi-Amigo]

CONGRATULATIONS 

@BobM     - on finding the LAST WORD IN THE LIST

@Cleoriff   - on finding both of the two NINE-LETTER WORDS IN THE LIST

Thank you

@Cleoriff @pgn @TallTrees @RafaC @anticpated @Bambino @gmarkj @BobM 

for taking part in this game and I hope you all enjoyed this Word Hunt Game.

Well done everyone in a great team effort in finding the 60 words in the list in the source used for this game and finding 23 words not in the list but in dictionaries so allowed before the notice to stop the game when last word found.

THE AWARDS

  two stars - for finding both of the two nine-letter words in the list = @Cleoriff 

trophy - for finding last word in the list = @BobM 

diamond dog - for finding most words not in list before notice of last word found = @pgn 

I hope everyone enjoyed this game - although it did run a little slower than usual.

The Word Hunt Diamond will be back next Tuesday - 15 Feb 2022; with a different target and different set of letters and different red-letter.

I hope the usual Diamond Dogs of Words and others will join in next Tuesday`s Word Hunt Diamond game.

Thanks for the game @Mi-Amigo and well done everybody!

[pgn]

Good game today, @Mi-Amigo, thank you! No plurals of note - but loads of words ending in Y 😆

I imagine a Q would shorten the list somewhat... 😖

[TallTrees]

Thanks for the game sorry couldn't stay long🤔  @Mi-Amigo 

Good thing really as terrible combination of letters🙄

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @RafaC @pgn @TallTrees 

Sorry you thought it was a terrible combination of letters @TallTrees but I do try to vary the letters in the grid each week.

As for nine-letter diamond including letter Q @pgn, thanks for the suggestion. I`ll have to have a look to see if this could be in a future WHD but don`t think there will be a WHD with Q as the red-letter as the game would be very short 😁 

[Cleoriff]

Thanks for the game @Mi-Amigo. It did go on for some time after I left 😂😂

Congratulations @BobM and @pgn. Well done everyone else. 😉
