Krillion gives everyone the same seven prompts a day and rewards the answers few other players think of. These games share that idea, and RareList's word lists help with all of them.
RareList is independent and is not affiliated with Krillion or any other game on this page.
A daily game with seven category prompts, the same for everyone, and 25 seconds to name one thing for each. Rare answers score big; obvious ones barely count. Besides the daily dive, krillion.io has an archive, an unlimited mode and themed packs for words, movies, sports and geography.
Using RareList: our tiers use the same names, so a Deep Cut here is the kind of answer you are hunting for there. For animal prompts start with animals A to Z; for the Geography pack, countries A to Z.
Roll the letter die, then race the timer to write one answer for each category on your list. You only score for answers that no other player wrote down.
Compared with Krillion: The same idea as Krillion, an answer only pays if others did not think of it, but played around a table: you are judged against the friends in the room, not a daily scoreboard.
Using RareList: Open the letter page for the category, then sort by Rarest first and pick something from the Schooler or Rare tier that you can still explain.

A daily 3×3 grid: every answer has to fit both its row and its column category. Answers are scored by how widely they are looked up, and the lower your score, the better.
Compared with Krillion: Like Krillion it is daily, the same for everyone, and obscure answers do best. The twist is that each answer has to satisfy two categories at once.
Using RareList: When a row or column is an animal, country, food, fruit or vegetable category, sort a letter page by Rarest first to find names few people would reach for.
Four daily games: Sky asks for the most common answer, Abyss for the rarest, Past for the oldest and Future for the most recent.
Compared with Krillion: Abyss is the closest to Krillion: name the answer nobody else gives. Sky flips it round and rewards the most popular answer instead.
Using RareList: For Sky, start from the Plankton tier, which shows what most people will say. For Abyss, sort by Rarest first.
Stop the Bus, Categories and other pencil-and-paper games work the same way: call a letter, then fill in an animal, a country, a fruit and more before time runs out. Teachers can project a letter page and switch off the Plankton tier to push students past the first answers that come to mind.
Scattergories, Anything Grid and Wonderhop all turn on how many other people would give the same answer. Anything Grid and Wonderhop are daily online games like Krillion; Scattergories is a party game played in person.
Yes. Besides the daily dive, krillion.io has an archive of past dives, an unlimited mode and themed packs: Words & Language, At the Movies, Sports and Geography, with Music listed as coming soon (as of November 2026).
No. RareList is an independent site. Our six rarity tiers borrow the names Krillion players know, from Plankton to One in a Krillion, but every tier here is set by our own search data.
No. RareList publishes A-to-Z word lists ranked by how often people search for each name. It does not publish daily answers for Krillion or any other game.
