How to play this prompt
Strategy notes specific to “Name a branch of biology” — not generic advice.
Science prompts punish approximations. Name it exactly and you dive deeper.
Lead with Mycology. 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. Entomology works the same way if you want a second bullet in the chamber.
Watch out for Zoology. It's valid, but validity isn't the game — rarity is. Anatomy has the same problem: everyone knows it, so everyone types it, so it scores like everyone.
The middle of the bank tells the real story: Ornithology lands in Rare while Zoology sits in Plankton — same prompt, wildly different rarity. That gap is exactly where the points hide.
Rare answers travel in packs: if Herpetology comes to mind, Ichthyology and Entomology are usually one thought away. Train yourself to pull the whole cluster, not just the first name that surfaces.
Rated 4/5 difficulty — only 12 banked answers, so matching the bank is genuinely hard. Precision matters more than speed here.
