These answers belong to our October 8, 2026 puzzle. They are not the official krillion.io daily solutions. Each prompt defines a bounded list; use the wording to check whether your candidate belongs before thinking about points.
1 / Geography
Name one of Switzerland’s 26 cantons.
A canton is an administrative unit, not simply a Swiss town. Some names overlap with well-known cities, which can make the boundary easy to forget. Think regionally and use a canton name; the answer list shows the exact names accepted by this edition.

2 / Science
Name a chemical element in group 18: the noble gases.
This is a periodic-table group, not a list of all gaseous elements. Scan the final column rather than collecting gases you know from everyday life. A valid full element name matters more than an unusual-sounding guess from a different group.

3 / Space
Name one of the eight planets in our Solar System.
Separate the eight planets from dwarf planets before you choose. Work outward from the Sun to build a mental list, then look for a less immediate pick. The prompt is about membership of that list, not distance, size or whether a world could support life.

4 / Colour
Name one of the seven traditional rainbow colours.
Use the traditional seven-colour convention named in the prompt. The game is not attempting to divide the continuous visible spectrum into scientific boundaries. A specific shade may describe something you can see in a rainbow while still falling outside this bounded answer list.

Name one of the twelve Western zodiac signs.
This question uses Western zodiac sign names. Keep the sign name separate from its associated animal, object or constellation description. Moving around the calendar can help you recall the complete set without mixing it with a different zodiac tradition.

6 / Science
Name one of the 20 standard protein-building amino acids.
The question uses the standard twenty-member protein-building set. It asks for a full name instead of a one-letter or three-letter code. Other biologically relevant amino acids exist, but belonging to that wider group is not enough to satisfy this deliberately limited prompt.

7 / Geography
Name one of Canada’s ten provinces.
Provinces and territories are distinct categories for this prompt. Scan the map from one coast to the other, but check that your choice belongs to the ten provinces. A well-known northern place can be geographically Canadian and still not satisfy this particular question.

Scoring this set
Every accepted answer receives 10, 30, 60 or 100 editorial points. A less familiar answer may receive a higher tier, but these values do not measure how frequently real players choose it. Each of the seven questions contributes at most 100 points, so the daily total is out of 700. Spelling aliases are supported only where listed in our question bank. Review after playing if you want to avoid spoilers.
Each prompt describes a set, such as planets or chess pieces. Every listed member is accepted. The points beside it are editorial game scores: a higher number rewards the answer we chose as less obvious, rather than measuring how many players picked it.
My answer wasn’t accepted
Check the exact scope: Canadian provinces exclude territories, for example. Spacing, capitalization, accents and punctuation are ignored, and selected common aliases are accepted. We do not guess at spelling errors. The revealed list shows the accepted names; it is a bounded starter library, not a general-purpose trivia judge.
