Krillion scoring
Last updated
Scores below come from the official client constants. This page does not publish today’s accepted answers.
Prompt tiers
Each accepted answer in the client maps to one tier. The score and the blurb are the client’s, not this guide’s.
A miss uses the black square emoji ⬛. The client exports that glyph as MISS_EMOJI.
Official client bundle (0vi6cc2s7pyye.js, 2026-10-23)| Tier | Score | Emoji | Client blurb |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plankton | 10 | 🫧 | The answer everyone blurts out. |
| Too Clever | 15 | 🤡 | A famously “obscure” pick. Everyone reaches for it. |
| Schooler | 30 | 🐟 | Solid — swims with the school. |
| Rare | 60 | 🦑 | Genuinely uncommon. Nice pull. |
| Deep Cut | 85 | 🏮 | True obscurity. Few go this deep. |
| One in a Krillion | 100 | 🌟 | The designated gem. Trench floor. |
What’s a good score?
The client does not publish a separate number called a “good score.” These are the daily total bands it does publish.
The two deepest daily bands start at 351 (Deep cut) and 450 (One in a krillion). Seven perfect 100-point answers would be 700, which the client calls the maximum day score.
Official client bundle (0vi6cc2s7pyye.js, 2026-10-23)The rendered homepage says every point sinks you 10 metres and that 700 is the trench.
Official (krillion.io, 2026-10-22)| Total | Band | Client verdict |
|---|---|---|
| 0–150 | Plankton | Plankton. Plenty of ocean left down there. |
| 151–250 | Schooler | Schooler. Swimming with the school. |
| 251–350 | Rare | Rare. Below the thermocline. Nice. |
| 351–449 | Deep cut | Deep cut. Seriously deep dive. |
| 450+ | One in a krillion | One in a krillion. Trench dweller. Absurd. |
Too Clever and the gem
The FAQ defines “too clever” as the go-to “obscure” pick that is not actually that obscure.
Official (krillion.io, 2026-10-22)The FAQ says the Krillion gem is not chosen on rarity alone. Past a certain depth, the gem is also picked for fun: the answer that is most satisfying to land on.
Official (krillion.io, 2026-10-22)Too Clever scores 15, which is below Schooler (30). A pick that feels obscure can still be one of the shallow scores.
