Daily word games

Games like Krillion

Krillion is a daily word game where you name things that fit a prompt, and the rarer your answer, the deeper you dive. If you've finished today's dive and want more of the same, these games use the same idea: think past the obvious answer.

Volcano and drill

Magmillion

Seven prompts a day, 25 seconds each. Rare answers drill you through the crust and mantle toward the center of the Earth, past real landmarks like the Kola Superdeep Borehole. Typos are forgiven with a "Did you mean...?" check, and after each prompt you see the rarest answers you missed. A perfect day is 700 points and reaches the inner core.

Rocket and space

Cosmillion

The same seven-prompt format, but your answers launch a rocket from the ocean floor out into space. Ranks run from Tourist up to One in a Galaxy.

Common vs rare

Moonshot

Two missions a day. First you name the answers most people would give, then the ones almost nobody gives. A second mode asks you to hit an exact rarity level.

How these games score you

Each game keeps a list of accepted answers for every prompt and sorts them from common to rare. "Apple" for a fruit barely counts. "Miracle fruit" scores near the top. The skill is knowing a category well enough to skip the first answer that comes to mind.

Tips for a deeper dig

Skip the first two answers you think of, since everyone else thinks of them too. Reach for a specific region or era: a Sardinian pasta, a Victorian piece of furniture, a moon of Saturn. And read the rare answers after each round, because they come back in later prompts.
