About the words & knowledge dive
Krillion's words & knowledge prompts are open questions with many right answers — the skill is in choosing the one fewer people would say. This page pulls seven words & knowledge prompts from our books of 510 dives (510 words & knowledge prompts in total) and lets you dive them back to back. Results don't touch your daily streak.
What "rare" means in words & knowledge
Words and knowledge prompts are the only ones where the dictionary is the referee: a word counts if it's in standard English dictionaries with that meaning. Rarity follows frequency in modern written English, so an archaic synonym scores far more than a common one — and a word you half-remember from a novel is often a Deep Cut.
