Name a female singer with over 500,000 monthly listeners on Spotify

Question 2 of 7

Name a foul or rule violation in soccer, basketball, American football, cricket, rugby or ice hockey

An answer must be an offence in at least one named sport; definitions and sanctions depend on that sport.

Show hints

Try both illegal contact by one player and formations that a whole team is forbidden to use.

Need a stronger hint?

Soccer examples include forcibly moving an opponent or restricting their movement; rugby also bans certain pre-bound attacks.

Show the final hint

    Flying wedge

    krillion

    In rugby union, this attack has multiple team-mates bound to a moving ball-carrier before engaging opponents. World Rugby Law 9.22 prohibits it and specifies a penalty. The definition distinguishes it from a permitted single supporter who meets the relevant tackle obligations.

    Pushing

    schooler

    In soccer, IFAB Law 12 lists pushing an opponent as a direct-free-kick offence when the referee considers it careless, reckless or excessively forceful. This explanation uses association-football rules rather than treating every sport’s rules as identical.

    Holding

    plankton

    In soccer, IFAB Law 12 lists holding an opponent as a direct-free-kick offence. It concerns restraining an opponent, rather than simply keeping possession of the ball; the ball must be in play for a free kick or penalty kick to be awarded.

Question 3 of 7

Name an underwear brand

Name the maker or label rather than an underwear style.

Show hints

Think of the names printed on waistbands, rather than the names of garment styles.

Need a stronger hint?

A specialist company counts, as does a label that also sells T-shirts or sleepwear.

Show the final hint

For a less obvious option, think of a label whose name ends with the letter X.

Question 5 of 7

Need a stronger hint?

Think of languages shared across oceans as well as across neighboring countries.

Show the final hint

Compare Canada with Australia, Switzerland with its northern neighbor, and Mexico with the country whose capital is Madrid.

Question 6 of 7

The character must have been playable in at least one game in the series; a background cameo alone does not qualify.

Explore Ultimate’s downloadable additions beyond its launch roster.

Need a stronger hint?

The home series can jog your memory: ARMS, Fatal Fury and Fire Emblem: Three Houses.

Show the final hint

Think of a fighter using the Ramram and Megawatt, one using Power Wave, or one wielding the Sword of the Creator.

Question 7 of 7

Choose a fruit commonly eaten without peeling. It can still have other preparations that remove the skin.

Think of fresh snacks that do not usually need a peeler.

Need a stronger hint?

A small smooth-skinned fruit and a citrus with an edible peel are useful directions.

Show the final hint

One is a bite-sized relative of a familiar fuzzy fruit; another has sweet peel around tart flesh. A familiar orchard staple also fits.

An independent companion

Understand the answer.
Keep the curiosity.

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. Start with a gentle hint, then ask for a stronger clue if you need one. Opening the answer choices shows their recorded scores; each answer stays hidden until you reveal that option.

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.
