No vegetables are listed for Q and X. No vegetables starting with these letters are on our list.
Vegetables come from Princeton WordNet and the public-domain Corpora vegetable list. Herbs, spices and potato dishes such as French fries are not included, and tomatoes and peppers count as vegetables here, as they do in the kitchen.
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
