Word Hunt Diamond is back - Game 79 Tues 12 Oct 2021

[Mi-Amigo]

Welcome to the Word Hunt Diamond - Game 79

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 the game which had to be cancelled last week and is as follows:                    

                                                                                        D

                                                                                    E       F

                                                                                 H     A     I

                                                                                    N      O

                                                                                         S

This week`s target is 62 words - using only the letters in the diamond - including one 9-letter word.

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 before the end of the game.

The rules:

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

No proper names are allowed.

Scottish words and American spellings are allowed.

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

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

Only one word per post.

Please wait until someone else has posted before posting again.

PLEASE NOTE: I will have to STOP the game periodically so I can give updates of words found. Please be patient and wait whilst this is being done and hope it does not cause too much delay or disruption to the game. 

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  @Anonymous  @BobM  @pgn  @Bambino  @gmarkj  @Projectionist  @MI5  @TallTrees  @RafaC 

@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 62 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...

Good morning @Cleoriff  Thank you for starting today`s WHD game

FASHIONED is correct and in the list [in the source used for this game] - and is the nine-letter word to find.
