Why? It's something you can buy in a shop.

Yep, I was confused by it too but also it's one of the few I've managed to get in 4 (instead of 5 or 6) recently so I'll take it!

Yes, you can buy them in shops if you go to the appropriate type of shop and ask for one.

Obscure, to say the least.

The vast majority of words are obscure. I think about 50% of the running words in the average text are composed of the 100 most frequent words. The 5,000th most frequent word occurs very infrequently but people who read a lot generally know more than 20,000 word families (so more than 100,000 different word forms). If you pick a random listing from a full-sized dictionary, it's probably going to be an obscure word.

Well sure, but Wordle uses a reduced dictionary, doesn’t it? I'm surprised this is in it.

*SPOILER ALERT*

I would’ve thought it is quite an obscure word, especially if you are American. The Wordle word list is quite limited after all. Also, personally I would never use the term without the word ‘tie’ after it. On its own it is just the name of a town/racecourse.

Yeah the first three letters alone still leaves way too many possibilities - I went for a completely different word to narrow it down considerably.

5th line was a selection of letters to try and rule out the multiple possibilities still available. Thankfully worked this time.

Should've picked a random word after 3 or 4 attempts, but I like to leave the greens in place as much as poss.

The joy of not playing in hard mode. It’s interesting to see how getting a lot of letters first go sometimes ends up in miserable failure.
