How to play this prompt
Strategy notes specific to “Name a type of dumpling” — not generic advice.
Everyone eats, so everyone has the same three answers. The points live in regional dishes and specific preparations.
Your edge here is Manti: specific, valid, and far from the crowd's first thought. If it feels slightly too obscure to say out loud, that's usually the sign it's worth real points. Bank Pelmeni as your backup — same logic, different answer.
The trap is Gyoza — correct, but it's the reflex answer for a reason: it's the first thing the category suggests. Wonton is the same story. Typing either one puts you shoulder-to-shoulder with most of the player base at 10 points.
Notice how Siu Mai (Rare) outscores Gyoza (Plankton) without being obscure at all. Rarity isn't about difficulty — it's about what the crowd overlooks.
Build yourself a mental shelf for this prompt: Xiaolongbao, Mandu, Pelmeni. They're different answers, same rarity neighborhood — and that neighborhood is where dives are won.
Rated 3/5 difficulty with 11 banked answers — a balanced prompt where rare-answer thinking decides everything.
