How Krillion Scoring Works
The score comes from the official answer record. Rarity is a tier—not a number this site invents.
First accepted. Then scored.
A correct-looking answer is not automatically in the official pool. Once an answer is recorded there, its tier determines its points. We preserve those values instead of recalculating them from word frequency or an AI guess.

Tier availability varies by prompt. We display the official record; not every prompt contains every tier. “Too Clever” is a distinct 15-point tier when present.
Turn points into depth
Depth = points × 10 metres. A 100-point answer adds 1,000 metres. Seven perfect answers total 700 points and 7,000 metres—the trench.

A closer look at the answer pool
Calculated by Krillion Answers from the saved reveal. These are our summaries, not official statistics.
High-scoring means 85 points or more. Median is the middle prompt pool after sorting by size. A dash means unavailable, not zero.
Frequently asked questions
Does every official answer score 100?
No. An answer can be accepted and still earn a lower score. Only entries recorded as 100 points receive the One in a Krillion label here.
What counts as high-scoring here?
Our summary calls official answers worth at least 85 points high-scoring. This threshold is our reporting definition, not a new official tier.
