Every answer has a depth.
Krillion tiers turn a valid answer into points. Each point takes you ten metres deeper.
| Tier | Points | Depth gained |
|---|---|---|
| Plankton | 10 | 100 m |
| Too Clever | 15 | 150 m |
| Schooler | 30 | 300 m |
| Rare | 60 | 600 m |
| Deep Cut | 85 | 850 m |
| One in a Krillion | 100 | 1,000 m |
Rarity is curated, not a live crowd vote.
The original publisher uses familiarity data for some prompts and LLM assistance with manual review for others. The standout Krillion entry also considers how satisfying the answer is. A long or unfamiliar word is not automatically worth more.
The maximum is 700 points.
Seven answers at 100 points give 700 points, or 7,000 metres. Our independent Rare Finds practice uses the same point bands with original editorial assignments; those assignments do not predict the official game.
