Looking for the rarest answers? These are the rarest answers to all 320 prompts in Rarest, the trivia game where the rarest answer wins. For each prompt you see three answers from its rarest tier: answers almost nobody types, which score Inferno (100 points) or Roar (60). They are the same kind of answers the game shows you after each prompt.

Use the list to learn, not to cheat: the daily round is the same for everyone, and the fun is finding a rare answer yourself. Answers that score high are right answers that few people think of, measured from public Wikipedia statistics (how often an article is read, how many articles link to it, and in how many languages it exists).

How the rarest answers are decided

Every answer list is built from Wikidata: if something belongs to the category and has an English Wikipedia article, it counts. Each answer is then ranked against the other answers to the same prompt, from the best known (Flicker, 5 points) to the least known (Inferno, 100 points). No list or tier is written by hand. Read the details on the About page.

FAQ

What is the rarest answer to a prompt?

Any correct answer from the top tier (Inferno) scores the maximum of 100 points. There is no single rarest answer; the list above shows three from the top tier for each prompt.

Are these the answers to today's daily round?

They cover every prompt the game can deal, so today's seven are among them. The page does not say which prompts are today's.

Why did my answer score low?

It was correct but well known. Answers most people think of first land in the Flicker and Glow tiers.

Can I suggest a missing answer?

Answer lists come from Wikidata, so an answer appears once it belongs to the category there and has an English Wikipedia article.
