How to play this prompt
Strategy notes specific to “Name a natural disaster” — not generic advice.
Science prompts reward precision — the vague version of your answer is common, the exact term is rare.
Lead with Limnic eruption. 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. Tsunami works the same way if you want a second bullet in the chamber.
The trap is Tornado — correct, but it's the reflex answer for a reason: it's the first thing the category suggests. Hurricane 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: Volcanic eruption lands in Rare while Tornado sits in Plankton — same prompt, wildly different rarity. That gap is exactly where the points hide.
Build yourself a mental shelf for this prompt: Avalanche, Wildfire, Tsunami. They're different answers, same rarity neighborhood — and that neighborhood is where dives are won.
Rated 4/5 difficulty — only 12 banked answers, so matching the bank is genuinely hard. Precision matters more than speed here.
