How to play this prompt
Strategy notes specific to “Name a big cat” — not generic advice.
The zoo favorites are all Plankton. Rare answers live in the less-photographed corners of the animal kingdom.
Lead with Snow leopard. It's the kind of answer that makes other players say 'I knew that!' after the reveal — which is exactly why they didn't type it. Sunda clouded leopard works the same way if you want a second bullet in the chamber.
Watch out for Tiger. It's valid, but validity isn't the game — rarity is. Asiatic lion has the same problem: everyone knows it, so everyone types it, so it scores like everyone.
Notice how Jaguar (Rare) outscores Tiger (Plankton) without being obscure at all. Rarity isn't about difficulty — it's about what the crowd overlooks.
Build yourself a mental shelf for this prompt: Puma, Cheetah, Sunda clouded leopard. They're different answers, same rarity neighborhood — and that neighborhood is where dives are won.
Rated 2/5 difficulty — 12 banked answers give you room to match, so the real skill is picking the rare ones, not just valid ones.
