What is the highest score in Krillion?

The highest possible seven-round total shown by the official tier values is 700 points: seven 100-point answers.

A valid but familiar answer can appear in a lower-value tier. Check the recorded answer list for that exact question to compare its official tier.

What Determines Your Krillion Score?

Answer validity

Your response must be recognized for that exact prompt. An inventive answer outside the available official list has no recorded tier here.

Answer rarity

Every revealed official answer is assigned one of six tiers. The tier, rather than answer length or spelling difficulty, carries the point value.

Round value

Plankton starts at 10 points; One in a Krillion is worth 100. The other tiers use the fixed values between them.

Game total

For a seven-question Daily Dive, add each round’s points. Seven 100-point responses total 700.

What Does Answer Rarity Mean?

Rarity is represented by the official tier attached to a revealed answer. These bars compare point values, not population frequency.

Short answer: only when it counts

Are Rare Answers Always Better?

A recognized rare answer scores more than a recognized common answer. But validity comes first. A response that feels obscure is not automatically a 100-point answer, and an answer missing from the available official list cannot be assigned a score by this site. Check the exact prompt before choosing novelty over certainty.

Keep a balanced seven-round total.Several 60- or 85-point rounds can matter more than one risky reach.

Daily Dive vs Unlimited Scoring

Daily Dive

Seven recorded rounds

The available Daily Dive reveals use the same six official tier values. This guide calculates a seven-round total by addition.

Unlimited

Use answer-level score context

Unlimited question pages also expose recorded tier and score data. This site does not infer unobserved game behavior beyond the available reveals.

Why Was My Score Low—or My Answer Not Counted?

Why did a correct answer score only 10 points?: It appears in the Plankton tier for that prompt. Correctness and rarity are separate.
Why is my answer missing?: It may use another spelling, refer to a different entity, or be absent from the available official reveal. Try the global answer finder before assuming a score.
Does a longer answer earn more?: No length bonus appears in the recorded tier values. The attached official tier determines the points shown here.
