How to play this prompt

Strategy notes specific to “Name a combat sport” — not generic advice.

Sports prompts punish bandwagon answers. If they won last year, everyone typed them.

The winning instinct on this one: skip your first thought entirely and type your second. Sumo is a perfect example — completely valid, just not the reflex answer. Kickboxing plays the same role as a backup.

Boxing feels safe because it's obviously right. That's precisely why it's worth the least — safety is crowded. MMA is the same kind of comfortable, low-scoring pick.

Taekwondo and Fencing are the honest middle of this prompt — answers most players know but few type first. If your instinct answer feels too easy, reach for this layer instead of the obvious.

Rare answers travel in packs: if Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu comes to mind, Judo and Kickboxing are usually one thought away. Train yourself to pull the whole cluster, not just the first name that surfaces.

Rated 4/5 difficulty — only 11 banked answers, so matching the bank is genuinely hard. Precision matters more than speed here.
