How to Find Better Krillion Answers

Official Krillion scores come from the published reveal, not from the first answer that comes to mind. This guide explains common patterns in those reveals and how to use the tools on this site.

Obvious versus less obvious answers

The first name most people think of is often an official low-tier answer. Krillion assigns a fixed score when the reveal places that answer in a rarity tier. Less obvious picks can score higher, but only if they later appear in the official answer set. Thinking past the most familiar option is a strategy, not a promise of points.

Broad versus narrow categories

A broad prompt, such as naming a country or a food, usually has a large official answer pool. Narrower prompts leave fewer valid options and can make the obvious pick even more crowded. Broad categories often have more room for uncommon names. Narrow categories can still hide high-scoring official answers, but they leave less room to invent wording.

Regional and specific names

Generic labels are shared by more players and often land in lower official tiers. Regional names, local spellings and more specific titles can score higher when the official reveal includes them. Specificity only helps if Krillion later accepts that exact wording. A close variant that never appears in the reveal scores nothing.

How tiers and scores work

Official answers use six fixed scores: 10, 15, 30, 60, 85 and 100. Those values map to Plankton, Too Clever, Schooler, Rare, Deep Cut and One in a Krillion. A seven-question game adds the seven official scores into a total. This site reports revealed tiers and scores; it does not assign them before the official reveal.

Why a suggested answer is not guaranteed

Suggested answers are extra ideas that have not been verified against the official answer set. They receive no Krillion tier or score. A suggested answer is not guaranteed to be accepted in the game. A suggestion becomes an official reveal answer only if it later matches an active official answer.
