How to play this prompt
Strategy notes specific to “Name a type of lizard” — not generic advice.
On animal prompts, cuteness is common — specificity is rare.
Your edge here is Gila monster: 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 Komodo dragon as your backup — same logic, different answer.
Chameleon feels safe because it's obviously right. That's precisely why it's worth the least — safety is crowded. Lizard is the same kind of comfortable, low-scoring pick.
Notice how Bearded dragon (Rare) outscores Chameleon (Plankton) without being obscure at all. Rarity isn't about difficulty — it's about what the crowd overlooks.
Think in clusters, not singles. Blue-tongued skink, Frilled lizard, and Komodo dragon sit in the same rarity band — knowing one should unlock the others when the clock is running.
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.
