How to score deeper in Krillion

What You Need

• Krillion is a free daily browser game at krillion.io where every player gets the same seven open prompts each day. ^{[community-tiers]}

Step-by-Step

1. On each of the seven daily prompts, resist your first instinct: the most obvious answer is what most other players will also type, and it scores in the low Plankton tier.^{[community-tiers]}

2. Be cautious with your second, cleverer idea, because a pick that feels obscure often lands in the Too Clever tier and earns only slightly more than Plankton.^{[community-tiers]}

3. Choose specific answers, such as a named variety, a regional word or a technical term, which tend to score in the Rare or Deep Cut tiers.^{[community-tiers]}

4. Treat Rare answers as a practical target, since they are uncommon but still words you can recall and type within the few seconds you get per prompt.^{[community-tiers]}

5. Keep every guess valid, because a wrong answer scores nothing, so a safe Deep Cut is better than a risky guess.^{[community-tiers]}

6. Practise with the guess box on each prompt, which tells you which tier a word lands in.^{[community-tiers]}

Common Mistakes

• Don't count on being a letter or two off an answer, because autocorrect checks aliases and a near-miss can turn your guess into something you didn't intend. ^{[official-faq]}
