These answers belong to our October 12, 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.
The October 12, 2026 challenge brings together technology, science, sport, geography, space and everyday knowledge. These notes follow the seven prompts in their playing order, using the answers and spellings published for this exact date. Compare the examples below after your round: the point differences describe this independent edition's scoring, not how frequently other players choose an answer. Each reference explains the subject; our editors assign the game points.
1 / Technology
Name one of the ten HTTP request methods listed in MDN’s October 2026 reference.
Consider “CONNECT” and “DELETE” before reading the full list. A request method states the intended action, such as retrieving or updating a resource. This edition uses the ten entries in MDN’s October 2026 reference, including QUERY; extension methods such as PROPFIND are outside it. “CONNECT” receives 100 points, while “DELETE” receives 30; switching from the first to the second would cost 70 points in this round. Another accepted response is “POST”, worth 10 points in this edition. This prompt's published list contains 10 accepted names.

Name one of the seven usual regions of the electromagnetic spectrum.
This prompt's published list contains 7 accepted names. Among them are “X-rays”, “Gamma rays” and “Radio waves”. All seven regions are electromagnetic radiation and differ in wavelength and frequency. Sound is a mechanical wave, so it does not belong to this spectrum. “X-rays” receives 10 points, while “Gamma rays” receives 100; switching from the first to the second would add 90 points in this round. The recorded alias “gamma radiation” resolves to “Gamma rays” and receives the same 100 points; it is another accepted way to name that answer, not an extra item in the list.

Name one of the five traditional basketball positions.
This prompt's published list contains 5 accepted names. Among them are “Small forward”, “Center” and “Power forward”. The traditional five positions describe different jobs on court. Modern players often combine those jobs, but labels such as guard alone do not specify one of the five positions. “Small forward” receives 100 points, while “Center” receives 10; switching from the first to the second would cost 90 points in this round. The recorded alias “centre” resolves to “Center” and receives the same 10 points; it is another accepted way to name that answer, not an extra item in the list.
Standard question · difficulty is separate from answer points.
Germany is a federation of sixteen states, including the city-states Berlin, Hamburg and Bremen. Familiar English names and established German names identify the same state here. “Brandenburg” and “Baden-Württemberg” each receive 60 points, so switching between those two names does not improve this round's score. Another accepted response is “Rhineland-Palatinate”, worth 100 points in this edition. The recorded alias “Thueringen” resolves to “Thuringia” and receives the same 100 points; it is another accepted way to name that answer, not an extra item in the list.
Advanced question · difficulty is separate from answer points.
The International Astronomical Union divides the whole sky into 88 constellations. A familiar pattern inside one, such as the Big Dipper, is an asterism rather than a separate constellation. “Orion” receives 10 points, while “Perseus” receives 30; switching from the first to the second would add 20 points in this round. Another accepted response is “Lepus”, worth 100 points in this edition. The recorded alias “Chameleon” resolves to “Chamaeleon” and receives the same 100 points; it is another accepted way to name that answer, not an extra item in the list.
Specialist question · difficulty is separate from answer points.
Name one of the four strokes in an individual medley.
A short review list for this question is “Breaststroke”, “Butterfly” and “Freestyle”. Individual medley combines four strokes in one race. Its freestyle leg is normally swum as front crawl; this game accepts either name for that leg. “Butterfly” receives 100 points, while “Freestyle” receives 10; switching from the first to the second would cost 90 points in this round. The recorded alias “back crawl” resolves to “Backstroke” and receives the same 30 points; it is another accepted way to name that answer, not an extra item in the list.
Standard question · difficulty is separate from answer points.
Name a season in the traditional four-season year.
The four-season model is familiar in temperate climates. Tropical areas may instead describe wet and dry seasons, so the question specifies which convention to use. The answer list offers “Summer” at 10 points, alongside “Autumn” and “Winter”. “Autumn” receives 100 points, while “Winter” receives 30; switching from the first to the second would cost 70 points in this round. The recorded alias “fall” resolves to “Autumn” and receives the same 100 points; it is another accepted way to name that answer, not an extra item in the list.

Game point tiers, not measured player frequencies.
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. Explicit aliases and unambiguous single-letter corrections in longer names are supported. The game displays a corrected name when it accepts a typo. 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 also accept an unambiguous one-letter typo or adjacent-letter swap in a name of at least six letters, unless that question disables typo matching. Short or ambiguous matches must be typed correctly. Feedback shows the corrected name and a knowledge note. If an answer is missing, use “This answer should count” in the game to open an email draft to [email protected] for review. The revealed list defines what this edition accepts.
Questions about this daily answer set
Are these the official Krillion answers for October 12, 2026?
No. This page covers Little Fun Games’s independent October 12, 2026 puzzle. Our seven questions, accepted answers and editorial points are separate from the original game at krillion.io.
Why does each question have several accepted answers?
Each question asks you to name one member of a defined set. Every name in its accepted list counts; you only submit one answer per question. Read the category boundary and compare the alternatives after playing.
What do the points beside each answer mean?
The 10, 30, 60 and 100 point tiers are editorial game choices. They do not measure how often real players submit each answer. Seven questions can earn at most 700 points, and the same accepted answer keeps its assigned score.
