How to Use the Answer Guide

Explore the clues and recorded answer lists at your own pace.

Start with the date, not the biggest list

Begin on Today's answers and check the date in the header. A recorded answer is useful only when it belongs to the dive you are playing. If the latest record is older than the current game, the page shows a notice. Use the archive for a previous date rather than assuming that yesterday's categories will appear again.

The seven numbered links above the first prompt jump to the relevant card. Each card identifies its prompt number and recorded answer count, so you can compare categories without mixing their answer lists.

Use the hints before revealing the rarest answer

The first-letter clue gives a small starting point. The letter-pattern clue narrows the shape of the answer without immediately displaying it. Try writing down a few possible answers after the first hint, then use the second clue only if the first did not help. The Reveal answer control is a deliberate spoiler step, not a required action to browse the rest of the list.

For a hypothetical category such as “name a fruit,” a first-letter clue could suggest several different fruits. A word pattern can then rule out options of the wrong length. This is an illustration of the hint method, not a claim that the example is an answer in today's game.

Understand what rarity tiers mean

The guide sorts recorded answers into six tiers: One in a Krillion (100 points), Deep Cut (85), Rare (60), Schooler (30), Too Clever (15) and Plankton (10). The tier bar summarizes how the recorded set is distributed. A wide segment means that many answers in that particular snapshot belong to that tier; it is not a probability that a guess you make will score there.

The rarest answer is not necessarily the longest word, a deliberately misspelled answer or the most obscure fact you can think of. A reasonable guess still needs to answer the exact prompt and be accepted by the game. This website cannot make a spelling valid or guarantee a rarity score that the current game does not assign.

Filter one prompt at a time

Inside each expanded answer panel, choose a tier chip to view answers in that tier. Use the small filter box to find a name or phrase within that prompt. The counts and “Showing” line tell you how much of the matching set is currently displayed. Show more answers loads another portion; it does not mean the first visible portion was the full list.

Keep the category's wording in view while filtering. A country with a language spoken by some residents is not necessarily a country where that language is official. A movie with a dream sequence is not necessarily a time-travel movie. These distinctions help you use a recorded list as a reference instead of treating every related word as an accepted answer.

Search across dates when researching an answer

The dedicated answer search searches recorded prompts and answers across the archive. Check the date and category on each result before using it. The same word can belong to several categories on different days, and acceptance in one category does not establish acceptance in another.

On desktop, the small header search is a quick route to the same tool. On a phone, open the navigation menu and choose Answer search. You do not need to create an account or enter personal information to search.

Recognize the limits of a snapshot

The game's accepted answers and rarity information may evolve after a source publishes a record. That is why a stored count is a snapshot, not a lifetime guarantee. If you find a mismatch, note the dive date, prompt and exact page and send it through Contact or email [email protected]. A useful correction includes a current public source or a clear description of the issue.
