RarePick Guides helps you explore the official Krillion daily puzzle with hints, selected answer records, and our own explanations. We are not affiliated with the game.
Every answer labels its evidence: official record, accepted play test, historical third-party report, or unverified. Reported scores stay labeled and unknown scores stay unknown. Scores describe game tiers, not measured player popularity.
Good to know
A few answers about the guide.
Will opening this guide spoil all seven answers?+
No. Answers stay hidden until you choose to reveal them. Start with a hint for the question you are on, and open the answer list only when you want more help.
What do the points and tiers mean?+
Points describe Krillion’s scoring tiers, not measured percentages of players who gave each answer. Official records and play tests are identified individually. Historical scores taken from third-party reports are marked “Reported”; an unknown score stays unknown.
Has every answer been entered in the official game?+
No. “Official answer record” means the answer and score appeared in the official list when captured. “Played and accepted” means the exact input was submitted and accepted. “Third-party report” identifies historical reporting we have not replayed, and “Unverified answer” has no confirmed acceptance. Each answer links its source.
Is RarePick Guides the official Krillion website?+
No. RarePick Guides is an independent companion guide. Krillion is played on its official website. Our hints and explanations are editorial; the original game and its scoring belong to their respective creators.
Why might an answer or score differ from this guide?+
The official game can revise its answer list or score, and accepted input wording may matter. Each guide shows the original dive date, when its sources were captured, and when we reviewed it. The archive includes historical reports and does not imply that every past answer has been officially verified.
