How to play this prompt
Strategy notes specific to “Name a type of pie” — not generic advice.
Food prompts look easy, which is exactly the trap — the most deliciously obvious answer is also the most common.
The winning instinct on this one: skip your first thought entirely and type your second. Tourtière is a perfect example — completely valid, just not the reflex answer. Pecan Pie plays the same role as a backup.
The trap is Apple Pie — correct, but it's the reflex answer for a reason: it's the first thing the category suggests. Cherry Pie 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: Shepherd's Pie lands in Rare while Apple Pie sits in Plankton — same prompt, wildly different rarity. That gap is exactly where the points hide.
Think in clusters, not singles. Key Lime Pie, Chicken Pot Pie, and Pecan Pie sit in the same rarity band — knowing one should unlock the others when the clock is running.
Rated 3/5 difficulty with 10 banked answers — a balanced prompt where rare-answer thinking decides everything.
