How to play this prompt
Strategy notes specific to “Name a country that borders only one other country” — not generic advice.
Geography prompts punish the obvious: everyone reaches for the same famous places first.
Lead with Lesotho. 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. Brunei works the same way if you want a second bullet in the chamber.
The trap is United Kingdom — correct, but it's the reflex answer for a reason: it's the first thing the category suggests. South Korea 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: Haiti lands in Rare while Canada sits in Plankton — same prompt, wildly different rarity. That gap is exactly where the points hide.
Build yourself a mental shelf for this prompt: Qatar, Dominican Republic, Brunei. They're different answers, same rarity neighborhood — and that neighborhood is where dives are won.
Rated 2/5 difficulty — 13 banked answers give you room to match, so the real skill is picking the rare ones, not just valid ones.
