How to play this prompt
Strategy notes specific to “Name a sea” — not generic advice.
Most players know the famous examples. The depth is in the specific names, elements, and phenomena beyond the textbook highlights.
The winning instinct on this one: skip your first thought entirely and type your second. Sea of Okhotsk is a perfect example — completely valid, just not the reflex answer. Coral Sea plays the same role as a backup.
Dead Sea feels safe because it's obviously right. That's precisely why it's worth the least — safety is crowded. Caspian Sea is the same kind of comfortable, low-scoring pick.
The middle of the bank tells the real story: Baltic Sea lands in Rare while Dead Sea sits in Plankton — same prompt, wildly different rarity. That gap is exactly where the points hide.
Rare answers travel in packs: if Arabian Sea comes to mind, North Sea and Coral Sea are usually one thought away. Train yourself to pull the whole cluster, not just the first name that surfaces.
Rated 4/5 difficulty — only 12 banked answers, so matching the bank is genuinely hard. Precision matters more than speed here.
