How can atwitter be common when so many of us missed it?
But then my definition of uncommon is if I don't get it!

SITEMAP - Any nerd knows this! And so does Wikipedia.
Even though the heading is two words, throughout the text it is just one word.

Jumping back a day or two to the question of how many Australians tried chookhouse. I did try it and was perturbed that it was not accepted because I think chookhouse is much more common in Australia than cookhouse.

I was meaning to ask why chookhouse wasn't accepted as chookhouses are much more common (in Oz anyway) than cookhouses !
But then autocorrect just changed chookhouse to cookhouse.

Chook comes from British dialect chuck(y) 'a chicken; a fowl' which is a variant of chick. Chook is the common term for the live bird, although chook raffles, held in Australian clubs and pubs, have ready-to-cook chooks as prizes.

KVETCH.
It took me a long time to drag it from the depths of my memory. An informal North American word of Yiddish origin unknown before the 1960s and now diminishing in use.
I vote for it to be classed as uncommon!

"Having said that, I note that more than 1 in 3 players got the word."I assisted my sisters in finding it as I thought it unfair on them to find a Yiddish word.

I missed umber. I could put it down to my colour blindness or that I have never heard of it. Or both!
