An English word from Irish or Scottish Gaelic
“An English word from Irish or Scottish Gaelic” is a question in OnlyClick, and our answer book knows 40 answers to it. Most people go straight for Slogan, Galore or Bog, so those barely lift the rocket. It is a fairly short list: only 10 answers sit in the two rarest tiers, so reaching one takes real knowledge.
Word questions reward thinking about spelling and sound rather than meaning, so say a few out loud. You will find it in stage 46, “Many Tongues”, of the Words mission. The first stages of every mission are free, and later stages come with the full mission.
