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. 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.

How to play our independent edition

  1. Choose daily, a random seven-question classic round, or unlimited practice.
  2. Read the precise category and type one answer before the 25-second clock expires. Turn on relaxed play before starting for an untimed session.
  3. An accepted answer ends the question. An unrecognized answer lets you try again while time remains.
  4. Review the accepted answers, then move on. Seven-question games finish with a score out of 700; unlimited challenges end at zero lives or when you choose to finish. Each seven-question checkpoint restores one life, up to three.

Find a less obvious answer

Start with something you know is valid, then scan a different part of the category. For geography, mentally travel across the map. For science, work through the relevant list. Accuracy comes first: something unusual outside the category earns no points.

Hints and fair comparisons

Hints do not reduce your points, but shared results mark when you used them. Answer pages reveal the whole set, so use them after playing if you want a clean challenge. Scores are for personal practice; we do not run a verified leaderboard.
