How to play this prompt
Strategy notes specific to “Name a country that borders France” — not generic advice.
Geography prompts punish the obvious: everyone reaches for the same famous places first.
Lead with Monaco. 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. Andorra works the same way if you want a second bullet in the chamber.
The trap is Spain — correct, but it's the reflex answer for a reason: it's the first thing the category suggests. Italy is the same story. Typing either one puts you shoulder-to-shoulder with most of the player base at 10 points.
Switzerland and Belgium 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 Luxembourg comes to mind, Belgium and Andorra are usually one thought away. Train yourself to pull the whole cluster, not just the first name that surfaces.
Rated 4/5 difficulty — only 8 banked answers, so matching the bank is genuinely hard. Precision matters more than speed here.
