Archive · hints first, answers behind a tap

1 Name a country where at least 50% of people speak English

Topic: geography · 28 correct answers on our list

Show hint 1

Count people who speak English, not the language printed on the passport. A country can have English as an official language and still miss 50%.

Show hint 2

Caribbean and Pacific states where English is the everyday language are named far less than the US, the UK and Australia.

Hint 3 · one rare answer

A deep pick: Papua New Guinea, where English is an official language alongside hundreds of local ones.

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

Rare-answer idea: The United States and Australia are the crowd. Prefer a country where you are sure English is a majority language. Small Caribbean and Pacific states are the rare end; India is a stretch because English is official but not spoken by half the population.

2 Name a bodily function or biological process (like breathing)

Topic: science · 28 correct answers on our list

Show hint 1

Everyday actions of the body count, and so do processes you only meet in a biology class.

Show hint 2

Named cycles and chemical pathways are rarer than sneezing, coughing and yawning.

Hint 3 · one rare answer

A deep pick: the nasal cycle, the way the nostrils take turns carrying the airflow.

Show answers (spoilers)

Most players say these (6)

  • Breathing
  • Blinking
  • Sleeping
  • Digestion
  • Heartbeat
  • Sweating

Less common (8)

  • Sneezing
  • Coughing
  • Yawning
  • Shivering
  • Hiccuping
  • Swallowing
  • Crying
  • Balance

Rare (8)

  • Peristalsis
  • Coagulation
  • Metabolism
  • Ovulation
  • Reflex
  • Osmosis
  • Mitosis
  • Lactation

Deep cuts (rarest we found) (6)

  • Nasal cycle
  • Gluconeogenesis
  • Apoptosis
  • Vasoconstriction
  • Hematopoiesis
  • Synaptic pruning

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

Rare-answer idea: Breathing and blinking score almost nothing. A named process you can define in one line, such as peristalsis or the nasal cycle, is rarer and still clearly a body process.

3 Name a one-word animal that starts with T

Topic: animals · 28 correct answers on our list

Show hint 1

One word only, and the first letter has to be T. Two-word names such as tiger shark are out.

Show hint 2

Birds, fish and extinct animals are named far less than tiger, turtle and turkey.

Hint 3 · one rare answer

A deep pick: the takahe, a flightless New Zealand bird once thought extinct.

Show answers (spoilers)

Most players say these (6)

  • Tiger
  • Turtle
  • Turkey
  • Toad
  • Toucan
  • Tarantula

Less common (8)

  • Tapir
  • Termite
  • Tuna
  • Tortoise
  • Tamarin

  • Tetra

Rare (8)

  • Tarsier
  • Tapeworm
  • Tarpon
  • Tenrec
  • Tuatara

  • Thylacine
  • Tanager

Deep cuts (rarest we found) (6)

  • Takahe
  • Takin
  • Tegu
  • Tapeti
  • Treehopper
  • Thresher

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

Rare-answer idea: Tiger and turtle are the crowd. Keep it to one word: thorny devil is two words and may miss. Takahe, takin and tuatara are real, specific, and almost nobody types them.

4 Name something that has a needle

Topic: other · 28 correct answers on our list

Show hint 1

A needle can be for sewing, for measuring, or part of a plant or a machine. The object has to actually have one.

Show hint 2

Gauges, record players and conifer needles are named far less than syringe and compass.

Hint 3 · one rare answer

A deep pick: a Coravin, the wine opener whose hollow needle leaves the cork in place.

Show answers (spoilers)

Most players say these (6)

  • Syringe
  • Compass
  • Sewing machine
  • Cactus
  • Pine
  • Record player

Less common (8)

  • Christmas tree
  • Acupuncture
  • Speedometer
  • Knitting
  • Porcupine
  • Hypodermic
  • Barometer
  • Gauge

Rare (8)

  • Tire pressure gauge
  • Phonograph
  • Fir
  • Spruce
  • Sewing needle
  • Tattoo machine
  • Pressure gauge
  • Metronome

Deep cuts (rarest we found) (6)

  • Coravin
  • Aneroid barometer
  • Yew
  • Larch
  • Turntable
  • Manometer

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

Rare-answer idea: Syringe and compass arrive first. A gauge or a conifer is a cleaner rare answer than a clever metaphor. Clock is a boundary case: it has hands, not a needle, unless you mean the pointer.

5 Name an original movie or show from Netflix, Prime Video, Apple TV, or Disney+

Topic: movies · 28 correct answers on our list

Show hint 1

It has to be an original of one of those four, not a show they merely licensed.

Show hint 2

Older originals and limited series are named far less than Stranger Things, The Boys and Ted Lasso.

Hint 3 · one rare answer

A deep pick: Comrade Detective, the Amazon series shot in Romanian and dubbed by American actors.

Show answers (spoilers)

Most players say these (6)

  • Stranger Things
  • The Mandalorian
  • Wednesday
  • Squid Game
  • The Boys
  • Ted Lasso

Less common (8)

  • The Crown
  • Severance
  • Ozark
  • Andor
  • Invincible
  • Bridgerton
  • Loki
  • Fallout

Rare (8)

  • The OA
  • Dark
  • Shrinking
  • Silo
  • For All Mankind
  • Pachinko
  • Arcane
  • Slow Horses

Deep cuts (rarest we found) (6)

  • Comrade Detective
  • Maniac
  • Katla
  • Undone
  • The Midnight Gospel
  • Scavengers Reign

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

Rare-answer idea: Stranger Things and Ted Lasso are the crowd. Check which service actually made it: The Bear is an FX show, so it is a risk if the prompt is strict about originals. A real original almost nobody names, such as Comrade Detective, is the deep end.

6 Name a named object in space that's bigger than Earth's Moon (like Jupiter)

Topic: science · 28 correct answers on our list

Show hint 1

Earth's Moon is the measuring stick. Mercury is smaller than the Moon, so it does not count. Mars is larger, so it does.

Show hint 2

Named stars, galaxies and the bigger moons of Jupiter and Saturn clear the bar and are typed far less than the Sun.

Hint 3 · one rare answer

A deep pick: Hanny's Voorwerp, a glowing cloud of gas found by a volunteer in Galaxy Zoo.

Show answers (spoilers)

Most players say these (6)

  • Jupiter
  • Sun
  • Saturn
  • Earth
  • Mars
  • Venus

Less common (8)

  • Neptune
  • Uranus
  • Andromeda Galaxy
  • Sirius
  • Polaris
  • Betelgeuse
  • Milky Way
  • Proxima Centauri

Rare (8)

  • Ganymede
  • Titan
  • Callisto
  • Vega
  • Rigel
  • Crab Nebula
  • Orion Nebula
  • Alpha Centauri

Deep cuts (rarest we found) (6)

  • Hanny's Voorwerp
  • Large Magellanic Cloud
  • Sombrero Galaxy
  • Whirlpool Galaxy
  • Sagittarius A*
  • Io

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

Rare-answer idea: Jupiter and the Sun are the crowd. Mercury is a trap: it is smaller than the Moon. Ganymede, Titan and Callisto are all larger than Earth's Moon. Io is only slightly larger, so it is the risky edge of the list.

7 Name a character from Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong, Sonic, or Kirby

Topic: people · 28 correct answers on our list

Show hint 1

The character has to come from one of those five series. A lookalike from another game does not count.

Show hint 2

Sidekicks and one-game bosses are named far less than Mario, Sonic, Link and Kirby.

Hint 3 · one rare answer

A deep pick: Stanley, the bug-spray exterminator who fights Donkey Kong in Donkey Kong 3.

Show answers (spoilers)

Most players say these (6)

  • Mario
  • Luigi
  • Zelda
  • Sonic
  • Kirby
  • Bowser

Less common (8)

  • Yoshi
  • Donkey Kong
  • Princess Peach
  • Link
  • Tails
  • Knuckles
  • Wario
  • Toad

Rare (8)

  • Rosalina
  • Shadow
  • Amy Rose
  • Ganondorf
  • Waluigi
  • King Dedede
  • Meta Knight
  • Diddy Kong

Deep cuts (rarest we found) (6)

  • Stanley
  • Ezlo
  • Impa
  • Cream the Rabbit
  • Magolor
  • Dixie Kong

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

Rare-answer idea: Mario, Sonic and Zelda score almost nothing. A character from a single game, such as Stanley in Donkey Kong 3 or Ezlo the hat in The Minish Cap, is the deep end and still inside the five series.
