Foods come from Princeton WordNet. Fresh fruit and vegetables have their own lists, and drinks, herbs and spices are not included. Category words such as dessert or seafood are left out, and so are names whose searches are mostly about something else, such as stock or charlotte.
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
