Understand the answer set
Krillion builds answer sets from sources such as dictionaries, encyclopedias, and other relevant datasets. Think about the exact scope of the question.

Frequently asked questions
A few important details about how Krillion works.
What is Krillion?
Krillion is a browser-based trivia game where you answer open-ended prompts. The game evaluates recognized answers and assigns rarity-based scores.
How is answer rarity determined?
According to the creator, the method depends on the question. Some answer sets use familiarity data, while others involve AI assistance and manual review.
Why can a very unusual answer score differently than expected?
Rarity is not the only consideration. The creator also considers whether an answer is enjoyable and satisfying as the top result.
What is the Too Clever tier?
It is intended for answers that technically qualify but are not as uncommon as they might first appear.
