Less common (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rarer

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">less common</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">('rare' can be the opposite of 'common' so perhaps 'rarer' is reasonable for 'less common')</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for rarer that I've seen before include "More unusual" , "steak may be wanted thus?" , "More scarce or uncommon" , "Comparatively sparse" , "(Of meat) less cooked" .)

I've seen this clue in The Star Tribune, the Newsday, the LA Times, the Universal, The Guardian, the USA Today, the Sydney Morning Herald, the King Feature Syndicate, the Penny Press and The Wall Street Journal.
