How to play this prompt
Strategy notes specific to “Name an NHL team” — not generic advice.
Sports prompts reward the fan who watches beyond the highlights — the famous names are all Plankton.
Lead with Ottawa Senators. 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. Nashville Predators works the same way if you want a second bullet in the chamber.
The trap is Chicago Blackhawks — correct, but it's the reflex answer for a reason: it's the first thing the category suggests. New York Rangers 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: Vegas Golden Knights lands in Rare while Chicago Blackhawks sits in Plankton — same prompt, wildly different rarity. That gap is exactly where the points hide.
Build yourself a mental shelf for this prompt: Winnipeg Jets, Colorado Avalanche, Nashville Predators. They're different answers, same rarity neighborhood — and that neighborhood is where dives are won.
Rated 4/5 difficulty — only 11 banked answers, so matching the bank is genuinely hard. Precision matters more than speed here.
