What the rarity tiers mean
- Plankton
- The names everyone says first. Safe, but in a rare-answer game they barely score. 100K+ searches a month
- Too Clever
- Feels like a clever pick, but plenty of other players will think of it too. 10K–100K a month
- Schooler
- Real names many people know but few would say first. 1K–10K a month
- Rare
- Recognizable to enthusiasts; a strong pick in rare-answer games. 100–1K a month
- Deep Cut
- Correct and checkable, but only specialists reach for them. 10–99 a month
- One in a Krillion
- So rarely searched that Google reports almost nothing. Make sure you can explain it. Under 10 a month
