Make each answer count
In Classic, keep two valid guesses in mind. Try the less familiar one while you still have time to enter your backup. A rejected guess uses up time without deducting points. Once the game accepts an answer, the prompt ends.
- Plankton
- 10
- Too Clever
- 15
- Schooler
- 30
- Rare
- 60
- Deep Cut
- 85
- One in a Krillion
- 100
Seven Plankton answers total 70 points. A single Deep Cut is worth 85. The Too Clever tier catches answers that sound obscure but are familiar to other players. Try a specialist example you know well, or think of a valid answer from another country.
In Endless, a pass or a timeout without an accepted answer costs one of your three air tanks. A 100-point answer restores a tank, up to three. On your last tank, submit an answer you’re sure fits while you still have time.
