How to play this prompt
Strategy notes specific to “Name an animal that hibernates” — not generic advice.
On animal prompts, cuteness is common — specificity is rare.
The winning instinct on this one: skip your first thought entirely and type your second. Arctic ground squirrel is a perfect example — completely valid, just not the reflex answer. Dormouse plays the same role as a backup.
The trap is Bear — correct, but it's the reflex answer for a reason: it's the first thing the category suggests. Groundhog 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: Woodchuck lands in Rare while Bear sits in Plankton — same prompt, wildly different rarity. That gap is exactly where the points hide.
Think in clusters, not singles. Hedgehog, Chipmunk, and Dormouse sit in the same rarity band — knowing one should unlock the others when the clock is running.
Rated 2/5 difficulty — 12 banked answers give you room to match, so the real skill is picking the rare ones, not just valid ones.
