How to use this page

Check fit before chasing rarity.

  1. 1

    Read the wording literally. A spectacular answer outside the category earns nothing.

  2. 2

    Search the reveal spelling. Use this list as a dated reference, not a live submission service.

  3. 3

    Balance depth and certainty. An 85-point answer you can type cleanly can beat a risky guess.
