What was up with today’s Wordle answer? I know it’s a word, and I know its plural form is pretty common, and none of the letters are especially uncommon, but still. This word never came to my mind. Today’s Wordle answer is bound to break some streaks. Ugh!

I’m nodding along with the Reddit user who wrote in the Wordle subreddit, «Am I going mad? I am English, a pretty well-educated, well-read person. Has anyone else, aside from academic mathematicians or statisticians ever encountered this word in the singular before?»

Not everyone agrees.

«I don’t think (today’s Wordle answer) is all that obscure for word lovers! It’s playable in Scrabble,» Peter Sokolowski, an editor at Merriam-Webster, told CNET.

Want to know a little bit about the word itself?

«These Latin singulars for nouns more commonly used with their plurals include arcanum and bacterium for arcana and bacteria,» Sokolowski said. «Some are equally well known, like media/medium, while some are more common as singulars but can form the plural in the same way as data, like stadium and atrium and auditorium. English absorbed a large number of Latin terms during the Renaissance and many of them were used with Latin plurals and still are, especially in academic contexts, like colloquia, symposia, curricula.»
