Krillion Rare Answers
The Krillion rare answers below are the two highest tiers of our question bank: every One in a Krillion (+100 points) and every Deep Cut (+60 points) pick we have graded, listed prompt by prompt. This is the study sheet for players tired of scoring 35 points on Plankton — read the families, learn the patterns, then go find them yourself in the game.

Spot the pattern in the 257 entries above: the deep water of every category hides the same families — micronations, deep-sea creatures, niche games, folk traditions and forgotten professions. Whatever the prompt, the shape of a rare answer rarely changes — and collecting these Krillion rare answers into families is exactly how experienced players study.
How to Find Krillion Rare Answers Yourself
Reading the list is step one. Step two is reproducing the thinking that produced it, because in a live dive nobody hands you the sheet. The repeatable habits:
- Shrink the category. “Country” → Europe → micro-states. “Animal” → ocean → deep-sea. Every prompt has a subfamily where Plankton cannot follow.
- Trade fame for specificity. A famous thing in an unfamous variant (a regional chain, a folk holiday, a niche discipline) often grades deeper than a genuinely obscure famous thing.
- Spend the timer. The sheet grades whatever is valid at the deadline — rejected guesses are free, so keep sinking alternative answers until something lands.
- Avoid the try-hard trap. The official-style definition of the Too Clever tier is the go-to “obscure” pick that is not actually obscure. If your answer feels like the clever one everyone will submit, it is.
Then check your instincts against the data: the answer checker grades any word instantly, the question database shows every tier mix, and Unlimited practice lets you drill the whole bank without touching today's dive.
Krillion Rare Answers – FAQ
What are rare answers in Krillion?
Rare answers are the entries on a prompt's answer sheet that very few players find. On this site they sit in the two highest tiers of six: Deep Cut (+60 points) and One in a Krillion (+100 points). The same prompt's obvious answers sit in the Plankton tier at just +5, which is why finding one rare answer is worth twenty common ones.
What are the best answers for Krillion today?
The best answer for any prompt is its rarest accepted one — today that means hunting the One in a Krillion picks on the seven live sheets. Today's full set is on the Krillion Answers Today page with spoiler-safe reveals, and this page lists every deep answer in the bank so you can study the families they come from.
Are these rare answers from the official Krillion game?
No. These are the rare answers of our own original question bank on krilliongame.org, an unofficial fan-made practice edition. The official game at krillion.io grades its own answer sheets, and we do not copy them.
How do I find rare answers instead of just reading them?
Use the pattern in the tables: micronations over big countries, deep-sea species over dolphins, niche card games over UNO, folk holidays over Christmas. Skip your first two ideas, aim for tiny, specific and regional, and use the full 25-second timer — second and third thoughts are statistically rarer than first ones.
Will reading rare answers ruin the game?
Only if you read today's before playing. This page is a study sheet, not a daily spoiler: the lists here cover the whole bank, so today's specific seven are best checked after your run — ideally on the answers page, with the spoiler warning respected.
How often do the rare answer lists update?
Whenever the bank grows. New prompts and new graded answers are added continuously, and retired daily dives fold back into the pool — so the One in a Krillion list you study today may have new entries next month.
Where these tiers sit on the full ladder
The full grading rules, depth conversion and ocean zones are explained in the Krillion scoring guide.
