How to play this prompt
Strategy notes specific to “Name a sport at the Summer Olympics” — not generic advice.
Sports prompts reward the fan who watches beyond the highlights — the famous names are all Plankton.
Lead with Modern Pentathlon. 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. Fencing works the same way if you want a second bullet in the chamber.
The trap is Swimming — correct, but it's the reflex answer for a reason: it's the first thing the category suggests. Gymnastics is the same story. Typing either one puts you shoulder-to-shoulder with most of the player base at 10 points.
Notice how Rowing (Rare) outscores Basketball (Plankton) without being obscure at all. Rarity isn't about difficulty — it's about what the crowd overlooks.
Rare answers travel in packs: if Archery comes to mind, Badminton and Fencing are usually one thought away. Train yourself to pull the whole cluster, not just the first name that surfaces.
Rated 2/5 difficulty — 14 banked answers give you room to match, so the real skill is picking the rare ones, not just valid ones.
