How to play this prompt
Strategy notes specific to “Name a type of shark” — not generic advice.
On animal prompts, cuteness is common — specificity is rare.
Lead with Goblin shark. 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. Thresher shark works the same way if you want a second bullet in the chamber.
The trap is Whale shark — correct, but it's the reflex answer for a reason: it's the first thing the category suggests. Great white shark 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: Nurse shark lands in Rare while Whale shark sits in Plankton — same prompt, wildly different rarity. That gap is exactly where the points hide.
Rare answers travel in packs: if Shortfin mako comes to mind, Lemon shark and Thresher shark are usually one thought away. Train yourself to pull the whole cluster, not just the first name that surfaces.
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.
