In short: for any Krillion-style prompt, first name the obvious answer in your head and skip it, then narrow to a sub-group, then pick the most specific correct item you are sure of. Below are tiered hints for all 7 questions of today's Rarest Answer daily (October 26, 2026), with answers hidden until you tap.
The hint ladder (works on any daily prompt)
- Hint 1 — name the crowd answer and drop it. For “a fruit that isn't red” the crowd says banana. Saying it scores almost nothing.
- Hint 2 — go one level down. Pick a sub-group: tropical fruit, citrus, berries. Sub-groups hide answers few players reach.
- Hint 3 — get specific, stay correct. Name a real member of that sub-group you are sure of (kumquat, durian, gooseberry). A wrong answer scores 0, so rare-and-right beats clever-and-wrong.
- Hint 4 — use your own corner. Your job, hobby, home region or language often holds an answer almost nobody else has.
