How to play this prompt
Strategy notes specific to “Name a country in Central America” — not generic advice.
Geography prompts punish the obvious: everyone reaches for the same famous places first.
Your edge here is Belize: specific, valid, and far from the crowd's first thought. If it feels slightly too obscure to say out loud, that's usually the sign it's worth real points. Bank El Salvador as your backup — same logic, different answer.
The trap is Costa Rica — correct, but it's the reflex answer for a reason: it's the first thing the category suggests. Panama is the same story. Typing either one puts you shoulder-to-shoulder with most of the player base at 10 points.
The middle of the bank tells the real story: Honduras lands in Rare while Costa Rica sits in Plankton — same prompt, wildly different rarity. That gap is exactly where the points hide.
Rare answers travel in packs: if Honduras comes to mind, Nicaragua and El Salvador are usually one thought away. Train yourself to pull the whole cluster, not just the first name that surfaces.
Rated 4/5 difficulty — only 7 banked answers, so matching the bank is genuinely hard. Precision matters more than speed here.
