The word for today, February 26, is:

RUCK (RUHK)
n.: a mass, a throng, a crowd;

the group of horses left behind in a race, or people who are not
distinguishable as opposed to their leader

Examples:
Through hard work and perseverance, Simpson was able to raise
himself out of the ruck.

The author's living room was littered with a ruck of books on
architecture, none of which satisfied her longing for a
well-crafted romance novel.
