Rarity is our estimate (estimated), not Krillion's score. Krillion accepts many more correct answers than any list.

Rare-answer idea: Pick a well-known but not top-chart show; the 1K-ratings floor means obscure indie shows can be invalid, so choose established ones (Decoder Ring, Hidden Brain).

2 Name a villain from Star Wars, DC, or LOTR

Topic: movies · 28 correct answers on our list

Show hint 1

Think of the dark lords and masked antagonists at the center of each franchise.

Show hint 2

Henchmen, generals and secondary rogues from the three universes count too.

Show answers (spoilers)

Most players say these (6)

  • Darth Vader

Deep cuts (rarest we found) (6)

Rarity is our estimate (estimated), not Krillion's score. Krillion accepts many more correct answers than any list.

Rare-answer idea: Go for second-tier names within one franchise (Wormtongue, Brainiac, Thrawn); Gollum and anti-hero cases like Harley Quinn are boundary risks.

Topic: other · 28 correct answers on our list

Show hint 1

Start with the limbs: everything from the top of the leg down.

Think of joints, bones and muscles of the lower leg and foot.

Rarity is our estimate (estimated), not Krillion's score. Krillion accepts many more correct answers than any list.

Rare-answer idea: Anatomical names (gastrocnemius, talus) sink deepest; avoid hip, pelvis and groin, which sit on the waist boundary.

Start with the world's biggest languages, native or as a second language.

Rarity is our estimate (estimated), not Krillion's score. Krillion accepts many more correct answers than any list.

Rare-answer idea: Specialist insectivores (numbat, aardwolf, solenodon) are far rarer than frog or bat; the specific species counts as its own answer.

Rarity is our estimate (estimated), not Krillion's score. Krillion accepts many more correct answers than any list.

Rare-answer idea: European wooden-toy and collectible makers (Brio, Haba, Steiff) sink deepest; company names and product lines both usually count.

Rarity is our estimate (estimated), not Krillion's score. Krillion accepts many more correct answers than any list.

Rare-answer idea: The letters must be adjacent: Turkmenistan and United States do not count. Search long names (Guinea, Saint, Principe) for hidden 'in'; Palestine depends on whether the game accepts it.
