Full breakdown: Krillion answers for November 12, 2026 →
What you get here that an answer list doesn’t give you
- Real player percentages. Next to each answer is the share of divers who gave it that day, so you can see which “rare” answers were actually crowded.
- The full shape of the sheet. How many accepted answers each tier holds, and how many of them nobody typed at all.
- The Too Clever trap, named. When a prompt has one, we show how many people walked into it.
- A reason, not just a list. For every prompt: what the crowd did, why the gem fits, and where the rarer answers were hiding.
How Krillion tiers work
| Tier | Points | What lands there |
|---|---|---|
| One in a Krillion | 100 | One hand-picked gem per prompt |
| Deep Cut | 85 | The long tail of the answer sheet |
| Rare | 60 | Correct and uncommon |
| Schooler | 30 | Well known, one step past obvious |
| Too Clever | 15 | The “obscure” pick that everyone makes |
| Plankton | 10 | The answers everybody gives |
A perfect dive is seven gems: 700 points. Rarity in Krillion is set by how familiar an answer is, not by how many players typed it on the day, which is why a Schooler answer can end up more popular than a Plankton one.
Saved dives
- November 12, 2026 Dive #120
- November 11, 2026 Dive #119
We save each dive on the day it runs, starting with dive #119. Earlier dives sit behind Krillion’s own archive unlock, so we don’t have their numbers.
Earlier prompts people still ask about
These ran before we started saving dives, so they come without player percentages: Name a species of great ape, Name a food with a filling inside.
Name a species of great ape
- Rare
- Bonobo60 pts
This is one of the smallest answer sheets Krillion has ever used: there are only eight living species of great ape, and one of them is you. The one tier we can confirm is Bonobo, a Rare answer worth 60 points, from a player’s recorded results screen. We didn’t save this dive, so the rest of this section is our own breakdown of the category, not the official tier list.
All eight great ape species
The great apes are the family Hominidae. Every living species is below, with our estimate of how crowded each answer is. Only the Bonobo row is a confirmed tier.
| Species | Genus | How crowded we’d expect it to be |
|---|---|---|
| Chimpanzee | Pan | Very common. With “gorilla”, the first answer most people type. |
| Bonobo | Pan | Confirmed: Rare, 60 points. |
| Western gorilla | Gorilla | Uncommon. Most players type plain “gorilla”, which is a genus, not a species. |
| Eastern gorilla | Gorilla | Uncommon, for the same reason. Includes the mountain gorilla. |
| Bornean orangutan | Pongo | Uncommon. “Orangutan” alone is the popular answer. |
| Sumatran orangutan | Pongo | Uncommon. |
| Tapanuli orangutan | Pongo | Our pick for the rarest. It was only described as a separate species in 2017, and fewer than 800 are left. |
| Human | Homo | The answer people think is clever. It is correct, and it is the classic Too Clever candidate. |
With a sheet this short, the game cannot hide a gem among thousands of obscure names. Everything turns on the word species. “Gorilla” and “orangutan” are genus names covering two and three species each, so the specific names (western gorilla, Sumatran orangutan) are where the rarer tiers have to be. Bonobo landing in Rare tells you the scale: a well-known ape that people forget is its own species scores 60, so the split-off species should sit at or above it.
How to score higher on this prompt
- Answer at the level the prompt asks for. When a prompt says species, give a species. The two-word names are both more correct and less crowded than “gorilla”.
- Look for the recent split. Taxonomy changes are a reliable source of rare answers. The Tapanuli orangutan is the newest great ape, named in 2017.
- Be wary of the smug answer. “Human” feels like a deep cut, but thousands of players have the same idea. Krillion has a tier for exactly that: Too Clever, 15 points.
- Don’t reach outside the family. Gibbons and siamangs are lesser apes, and monkeys aren’t apes at all. Neither will be accepted.
Name a food with a filling inside
- One in a Krillion
- Fool’s Gold Loaf100 pts
- Deep Cut
- Agnolotti, Aebleskiver, Akashiyaki, Alcapurria85 pts
- Rare
- Arancini, Baklava, Beef Wellington, Blintz60 pts
- Plankton
- Burrito, Dumpling, Pie, Taco10 pts
The gem for this prompt was Fool’s Gold Loaf: a hollowed-out loaf of bread filled with peanut butter, jelly and a pound of bacon, made famous by a Denver restaurant and by Elvis Presley, who is said to have flown there for one. The four Plankton answers were burrito, dumpling, pie and taco. This dive ran before we started saving player counts, so the lists below show confirmed tiers without percentages.
This sheet was enormous: only four Plankton answers, and more than 8,000 Deep Cuts. That shape tells you the prompt is easy to answer and hard to answer badly. Almost any specific dish beats the generic word for it. “Pie” is Plankton, but a named pie is at least a Schooler; “dumpling” is Plankton, but gyoza, pierogi and samosa are Schooler and regional dumplings such as akashiyaki are Deep Cuts. Chocolate bars and fast food count too: Cadbury Creme Egg and Big Mac both scored as Rare.
How to score higher on this prompt
- Never give the category word. Burrito, dumpling, pie and taco are the whole Plankton tier. Name a specific one instead.
- Go regional. Stuffed foods exist in every cuisine, and the less familiar the cuisine is to English speakers, the deeper the tier: alcapurria, ang ku kueh and Adjarian khachapuri were all Deep Cuts.
- Think beyond dinner. Filled sweets and snacks are on the sheet too. After Eight, Almond Joy and Baby Ruth were Rare answers that few people think of when they hear “food”.
- Keep a safe 60 in your pocket. With 25 seconds on the clock, arancini, baklava or Beef Wellington are easy to spell and all scored Rare.

Practice this kind of prompt
Krillion gives you seven prompts a day. If you want more reps, our own rare-answer game has no daily cap: endless prompts across geography, food, animals, movies, sports and science, graded by how rare your answer is.
This is an unofficial fan analysis. Krillion is made by kp at krillion.io; we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the game. Tiers and points are the ones the game shows players after the dive. We publish a selection of each answer sheet, not the whole list.
FAQ
When do the Krillion answers change?
Krillion publishes a new dive once a day, at midnight Eastern Time (05:00 UTC in winter). This page switches to the new prompts shortly after, and the player percentages are refreshed during the day as more people play.
Where do the percentages come from?
From the game itself. After you finish a dive, Krillion shows how often each answer was given. We save those counts for the current day and turn them into shares of all answers given for that prompt.
Why is a Schooler answer sometimes more popular than a Plankton answer?
Tiers are assigned in advance from how familiar an answer is in general, not from what players type on the day. The crowd does not always behave as predicted, and those gaps are where the easy points are.
Do you list every accepted answer?
No. Some prompts accept tens of thousands of answers. We show the gem, every tier’s most given answers and the size of each tier, which is what you need to judge your own answer.
How many species of great ape are there?
Eight living species: chimpanzee, bonobo, western gorilla, eastern gorilla, Bornean orangutan, Sumatran orangutan, Tapanuli orangutan and human.
Is bonobo a good Krillion answer for this prompt?
Yes. Bonobo was shown as a Rare answer worth 60 points on a player’s recorded results screen.
Are gibbons great apes?
No. Gibbons and siamangs are lesser apes, a separate family, so they don’t fit this prompt.
What were the Plankton answers?
Burrito, dumpling, pie and taco, worth 10 points each.
Does a sandwich count as a food with a filling?
Yes. Sandwich was accepted as a Schooler answer worth 30 points, and specific sandwiches such as the BLT scored as Rare.
Is this site part of Krillion?
No. This is an unofficial fan analysis. Krillion is made by kp at krillion.io.
