Least Common Common Word

[anonsi]

Hi Alan (and all),

I was wondering if you could tell us the common word that the least number of people found for a given puzzle.  For instance, what was the common word that the least number of people found in today's Challenge/Standard.  Not every day (that would involve too much work).  But perhaps once a week or once a month.  It would be  interesting to see which words people don't know as well.

Thanks!

Hi anonsi,
we posted about this topic before..wondering what words we missed. It seems that we miss really common words as opposed to uncommon common words....
It would be interesting to know...
I second this motion Alan...

I posted some examples of common words found by few players in the first few days of the rosette. If you have a look at that post, you'll see a mixture of unusual words like "encyst" and "irenic" and more common common words like "smith" and "iciest".

It would be interesting to have another look at that. I'll get onto it soon.
