Rare-answer tips

Think in subgroups

For an animal prompt, move beyond the first familiar animal by thinking about habitat, family or region. For a food prompt, think of shapes, ingredients or cuisines. Read the exact wording: a sea turtle is not any turtle, and a capital is not any large city.

Use the clock deliberately

Enter a valid answer before searching for perfection. If your first idea is rejected, try a clear alternative rather than repeating the same spelling. Between prompts the timer stops, so use that pause to reset. Relaxed mode is useful for practising unfamiliar categories.

Learn from the result screen

Compare your answer with the accepted list after the game. Remember one new example from each category instead of memorising every list. A challenge link fixes the same seven prompts, which makes it useful for comparing knowledge with a friend.
