<upd_detl>no dictionary entries for 窮, and yourei and google news are exclusively 進退窮, so I'm adding 極 as [sK], even though the statistics might otherwise be high enough to display it. 極 is well-represented on twitter though, so definitely worth at least the [sK]. 

sankoku suggests that 谷 and 窮 are "technically" interchangeable, but doesn't have a dedicated entry for this expression.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>On further thought, I'm removing [sK] from 谷まる in favor of [rK].  It is "correct', and this form *does* appear in yourei, even in recent works. You can even find the off appearance in wikipedia.

There is another recently added entry "進退これ谷まる".  If we [sK] 谷 here, it will looks very strange for it to appear there.  And if we go strictly off of statistics, there's an argument to [sK] 谷 out of the きわまる entry itself.

Note: for statistical purposes, only 窮 and 谷 are actually considered analogous by Japanese people, so their relative statistics should probably not consider the more-common 極, which throws off a lot of numbers.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>I think we can stay with [sK] for such a rare form. The 進退これ谷まる entry is rare and marginal and really has no impact here.</upd_detl>
