How to play this prompt
Strategy notes specific to “Name a type of nut” — not generic advice.
Everyone eats, so everyone has the same three answers. The points live in regional dishes and specific preparations.
The winning instinct on this one: skip your first thought entirely and type your second. Pine Nut is a perfect example — completely valid, just not the reflex answer. Macadamia plays the same role as a backup.
The trap is Peanut — correct, but it's the reflex answer for a reason: it's the first thing the category suggests. Cashew is the same story. Typing either one puts you shoulder-to-shoulder with most of the player base at 10 points.
The middle of the bank tells the real story: Walnut lands in Rare while Peanut sits in Plankton — same prompt, wildly different rarity. That gap is exactly where the points hide.
Rare answers travel in packs: if Pecan comes to mind, Brazil Nut and Macadamia are usually one thought away. Train yourself to pull the whole cluster, not just the first name that surfaces.
Rated 3/5 difficulty with 11 banked answers — a balanced prompt where rare-answer thinking decides everything.
