I have to say I've never seen "ort" outside of a crossword puzzle.

…I've never seen "ort" outside of a crossword puzzle.

Clearly, you don't play a lot of Scrabble. :cool:

Ort is defined as archaic, yet I've heard it used by animal farmers (as a kid), and I've seen it in poetry, too.

Good solve!
