I wonder how long you've been playing. The words you mentioned are not at all obscure. There are only just over 2,000 in the database. I can agree with you on those few where you can have 5 out of 6 letters in the correct spots, but still have 4-5 choices, but that has only happened to me once. Up your game!

Seems like an author would appreciate an expanded vocabulary. Just sayin'

I can see "tacit" as it's not well known for those who aren't big readers, although I think it's a great word that should be used more... "tacit approval" is the most common phrasing these days. "Swill" and "caulk" I would think are not so rare. I didn't know people don't swill beer anymore, that would be a good thing, except I believe they chug it now instead. But there's no substitute for caulk, you can't live without it, if you ever must fix a window seal or a leak around a sink, tub, or toilet you will become intimate with caulk.
I see what you mean on the "shake" one, where any number of letters can be substituted for one particular letter. I think I pulled that one out at the last step!

Where do you get the number 2000? Now that they’re not above using all verb tenses, there are way more than that. However it absolutely has lost the ‘Wordle’ flavor for sure!!
