How to play this prompt
Strategy notes specific to “Name a reptile” — 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. Gharial is a perfect example — completely valid, just not the reflex answer. Komodo dragon plays the same role as a backup.
The trap is Crocodile — correct, but it's the reflex answer for a reason: it's the first thing the category suggests. Snake is the same story. Typing either one puts you shoulder-to-shoulder with most of the player base at 10 points.
Iguana and Monitor lizard 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 Chameleon comes to mind, Gecko and Komodo dragon are usually one thought away. Train yourself to pull the whole cluster, not just the first name that surfaces.
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.
