How to play this prompt
Strategy notes specific to “Name a venomous snake” — not generic advice.
On animal prompts, cuteness is common — specificity is rare.
The winning instinct on this one: skip your first thought entirely and type your second. Inland taipan is a perfect example — completely valid, just not the reflex answer. King cobra plays the same role as a backup.
Cobra feels safe because it's obviously right. That's precisely why it's worth the least — safety is crowded. Viper is the same kind of comfortable, low-scoring pick.
Notice how Fer-de-lance (Rare) outscores Cobra (Plankton) without being obscure at all. Rarity isn't about difficulty — it's about what the crowd overlooks.
Build yourself a mental shelf for this prompt: Russell's viper, Saw-scaled viper, King cobra. They're different answers, same rarity neighborhood — and that neighborhood is where dives are won.
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.
