How to play this prompt
Strategy notes specific to “Name a type of metal” — not generic advice.
Science prompts punish approximations. Name it exactly and you dive deeper.
Lead with Titanium. 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. Nickel works the same way if you want a second bullet in the chamber.
Gold feels safe because it's obviously right. That's precisely why it's worth the least — safety is crowded. Silver is the same kind of comfortable, low-scoring pick.
Copper and Tin 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.
Think in clusters, not singles. Zinc, Aluminum, and Nickel sit in the same rarity band — knowing one should unlock the others when the clock is running.
Rated 4/5 difficulty — only 12 banked answers, so matching the bank is genuinely hard. Precision matters more than speed here.
