Uncommon

RARE

Think of how collectors describe a hard-to-find coin or stamp, or how a steak might be ordered for minimal cooking.

"Uncommon" is a straightforward definition clue pointing directly to "RARE," which means something that’s infrequent or hard to find. There’s no hidden wordplay or trick here—it’s a simple synonym match where both words share the same core meaning. If you think of how we describe a rare stamp or a rare opportunity, the connection becomes obvious. The clue relies on your vocabulary rather than any clever misdirection.
