All months · September 2026 · August 2026

July 2026 is the month Krillion launched. Daily Dive #1 went out on July 16, 2026 and the month closed with #16 on July 31 — 16 dives in all. Every one of them is listed below, newest first, with the same seven prompts the whole world got that day and the size of the official answer set for each prompt. A smaller pool means a harder prompt — that's the number worth checking before you replay a date you missed.

Answer sets keep growing after the day ends, so the counts below are the latest we have rather than the counts from the night itself. Not sure why an answer only scored 15 points? See the Too Clever breakdown. Looking for today's answers? Those live on the home page.

Daily Dives #16 – #1 · 16 dives

Daily Dive #16 — July 31, 2026

7 prompts · 499 official answers

  1. Name a strait (a narrow sea passage between two landmasses) — 58
  2. Name a creature that lives in the deep sea — 53
  3. Name a variety of chili pepper — 50
  4. Name a Pokémon from the original 151 — 151
  5. Name a phobia (its formal name, like "arachnophobia") — 71
  6. Name a world chess champion — 29
  7. Name a famous ship (real or fictional) — 87

Only 29 world chess champions counted — world champions across all formats, which is why Nona Gaprindashvili and Hou Yifan were on the list while most players only reached for Fischer and Kasparov. The phobia prompt at 71 paid 100 for venustraphobia, and the deep-sea list at 53 went to the abyssal sea pig. The Pokémon prompt was the day's release valve at 151 — one per original entry.

Daily Dive #15 — July 30, 2026

7 prompts · 414 official answers

  1. Name a country whose flag uses all three of red, white, and blue, and no other colors — 25
  2. Name a rodent — 39
  3. Name a type of tea — 60
  4. Name a Broadway musical — 130
  5. Name a metric (SI) prefix — 24
  6. Name a type of knot — 55
  7. Name an ancient civilization — 81

Two prompts had barely more than 20 answers. Only 24 SI prefixes exist in total, and the 100-point answer was quecto — one of the two smallest, added in 2022, so almost nobody knows it. The red-white-blue flag list ran to 25 countries, and Nepal was the 100-point answer even though its flag is the one shape everyone remembers. Broadway musicals at 130 was the day's free points.

Daily Dive #14 — July 29, 2026

7 prompts · 400 official answers

  1. Name the capital city of an Asian country — 55
  2. Name a species of spider — 50
  3. Name a type of sandwich — 73
  4. Name a Toy Story character — 60
  5. Name a cryptid (a creature like Bigfoot whose existence is claimed but unproven) — 70
  6. Name a sport played with a racquet or paddle — 31
  7. Name a Renaissance artist — 61

The racquet-sport prompt was the thinnest at 31, where road tennis took 100 and canoe polo 85 — neither is what anyone pictures when they hear "racquet sport". Two more official calls worth knowing: Aden counted as an Asian capital at 85 points (Yemen's former capital), and on the sandwich prompt a plain "bacon sandwich" scored 85 while Shooter's sandwich took 100. Cryptids at 70 paid 100 for the Tatzelwurm.

Daily Dive #13 — July 28, 2026

7 prompts · 582 official answers

  1. Name a country that drives on the left — 68
  2. Name an amphibian — 41
  3. Name an ice cream flavor — 92
  4. Name a Star Wars character — 170
  5. Name a collective noun for a group of animals (like "murder" for crows) — 81
  6. Name a gym exercise — 71
  7. Name a classic French dish — 59

The best set of the week for depth. Only 41 amphibians counted, and glass frog took 100 while the caecilian — a legless amphibian most players don't know exists — scored 85. The ice cream prompt at 92 paid 100 for Cherry Garcia, a branded flavour rather than a generic one, and collective nouns at 81 went to labor (a group of moles). Star Wars at 170 was the one prompt where an obvious name still paid.

Daily Dive #12 — July 27, 2026

7 prompts · 344 official answers

  1. Name a country where Spanish is an official language — 21
  2. Name a primate species — 49
  3. Name a candy bar — 61
  4. Name a boy band — 58
  5. Name an organ of the human body — 39
  6. Name a yoga pose — 53
  7. Name a US national park — 63

The thinnest dive of the month across the board — every pool under 64. The Spanish-language prompt only accepted 21 countries, and the 100-point answer was Western Sahara, a disputed territory almost nobody writes on a trivia clock, while Costa Rica and El Salvador only reached Rare (60). Candy bars at 61 paid 100 for Starbar, and the human-organ list at 39 went to the hypothalamus because everyone else wrote heart, lungs or liver.

Daily Dive #11 — July 26, 2026

7 prompts · 400 official answers

  1. Name a mountain range — 85
  2. Name an insect — 52
  3. Name a soup — 58
  4. Name a movie starring Tom Hanks — 55
  5. Name a shade of blue — 52
  6. Name a kitchen utensil — 57
  7. Name a Norse god or goddess — 41

Six of the seven pools sat between 41 and 58, so this was a dive with almost no safe ground. The shades-of-blue prompt at 52 is the one to remember: the 100-point answer was smalt, a pigment name most people have never met, while air force blue and Alice blue took 85. Kitchen utensils at 57 paid 100 for a larding needle, and on the Tom Hanks prompt Punchline — a 1988 film almost nobody has seen — was the top answer.

Daily Dive #10 — July 25, 2026

7 prompts · 431 official answers

  1. Name a former republic of the Soviet Union — 17
  2. Name a dinosaur — 76
  3. Name a pizza topping — 58
  4. Name a TV sitcom — 119
  5. Name a programming language — 78
  6. Name an Olympic track and field event — 44
  7. Name a nut — 39

Two of the sharpest prompts in the whole archive. The Soviet republics list only ran to 17, because the official set used the union republics plus the two short-lived ones — Karelo-Finnish SSR and Transcaucasian SFSR both scored 100. And on the track and field prompt tug of war was worth 100 — a real Olympic event from 1900 to 1920, which is exactly the kind of answer this game rewards. Nuts at 39 paid 100 for the boab nut and mongongo nut.

Daily Dive #9 — July 24, 2026

7 prompts · 429 official answers

  1. Name a desert — 53
  2. Name a snake species — 71
  3. Name a coffee drink — 66
  4. Name a video game console — 61
  5. Name a muscle in the human body — 69
  6. Name a style of hat — 65
  7. Name a Shakespeare play — 44

A remarkably even set — all seven pools between 44 and 71. The coffee prompt at 66 paid 100 for egg coffee, a Vietnamese drink most players have never heard of, and on the games console prompt the top answer was the Epoch Game Pocket Computer, with 3DO and Amiga CD32 at 85. Shakespeare at 44 went to Cardenio, a lost play — so a safe answer like Hamlet was bottom tier.

Daily Dive #8 — July 23, 2026

7 prompts · 363 official answers

  1. Name a country with a Mediterranean coastline — 22
  2. Name a whale species — 39
  3. Name a tropical fruit — 55
  4. Name a Scooby-Doo character — 25
  5. Name a type of cloud — 35
  6. Name a style of dance — 92
  7. Name a Roman emperor — 95

The Scooby-Doo prompt is the one to read twice: Scooby himself and the whole gang — Shaggy, Fred and Daphne — all scored Plankton at 10 points, and Scrappy-Doo only reached Too Clever at 15. The 100-point answer was Black Knight Ghost. Only 22 countries have a Mediterranean coastline, where Bosnia and Herzegovina took 100, and only 39 whale species counted — spade-toothed whale was the top answer.

Daily Dive #7 — July 22, 2026

7 prompts · 428 official answers

  1. Name a river in Europe — 84
  2. Name a penguin species — 20
  3. Name a breakfast cereal brand — 65
  4. Name a James Bond film — 27
  5. Name a gemstone — 64
  6. Name a board game — 89
  7. Name a language spoken in Europe — 79

Only 20 penguin species exist, so anything you can name from memory is bottom tier — the 100-point answer was the white-flippered penguin. James Bond only ran to 27 counted films, where Casino Royale (1967) took 100. Cereal brands at 65 paid 100 for Kaboom, and the gemstone list at 64 went to benitoite.

Daily Dive #6 — July 21, 2026

7 prompts · 544 official answers

  1. Name a landlocked country — 45
  2. Name a shark species — 53
  3. Name a cocktail — 94
  4. Name a Harry Potter character — 110
  5. Name a moon of a planet in our solar system — 87
  6. Name a martial art — 58
  7. Name a mythical creature — 97

Two official calls are worth knowing here: the moon prompt accepted Charon at 30 points even though it orbits Pluto, and the 100-point answer was Skathi. Landlocked countries only ran to 45, where Uzbekistan paid 100 and landlocked-but-obvious picks scored 30. Harry Potter at 110 was the day's widest list.

Daily Dive #5 — July 20, 2026

7 prompts · 475 official answers

  1. Name a country in Asia — 52
  2. Name a venomous or poisonous animal — 61
  3. Name an herb or spice — 71
  4. Name a Walt Disney Animation Studios feature film — 62
  5. Name a unit of measurement — 96
  6. Name a city that has hosted the Summer or Winter Olympics — 46
  7. Name a type of flower — 87

Only 46 cities have hosted an Olympics, where Chamonix — the first Winter Games in 1924 — was the 100-point answer while every modern host city scored 30. The Disney prompt accepted just 62 films, and Dinosaur was the top answer. Rare answers elsewhere: Timor-Leste for Asia, Spanish dancer nudibranch for venomous animals, Mahleb for spices, ell for units and Middlemist's Red for flowers.

Daily Dive #4 — July 19, 2026

7 prompts · 366 official answers

  1. Name an island country — 48
  2. Name a species of wild cat — 40
  3. Name a type of bread — 70
  4. Name a Studio Ghibli film — 27
  5. Name a bone in the human body — 58
  6. Name a card game — 78
  7. Name a US president — 45

Only 27 Ghibli titles counted, and the 100-point answer was Boro the Caterpillar — a short film rather than a feature, which is exactly the kind of answer this game rewards. Island countries at 48 paid 100 for Tuvalu, and the US president list at 45 went to Martin Van Buren. Wild cats only ran to 40 species, where Iriomote cat took the top tier.

Daily Dive #3 — July 18, 2026

7 prompts · 461 official answers

  1. Name the capital city of a European country — 51
  2. Name a citrus fruit — 35
  3. Name a movie that won the Best Picture Oscar — 97
  4. Name an officially recognized constellation — 90
  5. Name an NBA team — 68
  6. Name a root vegetable — 40
  7. Name a Greek god or goddess — 80

Two lists here are shorter than people assume: only 35 citrus fruits counted, where etrog took 100, and only 40 root vegetables, where crosne did. The NBA prompt includes defunct franchises, so Kansas City Kings and Toronto Huskies both paid 100 while today's 30 teams scored the bottom tier. The Best Picture list at 97 went to Wings, the very first winner.

Daily Dive #2 — July 17, 2026

7 prompts · 520 official answers

  1. Name a country in the Americas (North, Central, or South) — 35
  2. Name a bird of prey — 63
  3. Name a type of cheese — 61
  4. Name a Beatles song — 169
  5. Name a letter of the Greek alphabet — 29
  6. Name a US state capital — 50
  7. Name a dog breed — 113

The Greek alphabet prompt only accepted 29 letters, and the 100-point answer was San — an obsolete letter most players have never seen, with digamma and koppa at 85. The Americas prompt ran to 35 countries, where Saint Kitts and Nevis took the top tier, and state capitals at 50 paid 100 for Montpelier. Beatles songs at 169 was the day's release valve.

Daily Dive #1 — July 16, 2026

7 prompts · 365 official answers

  1. Name an animal whose name starts with K — 39
  2. Name a country in Africa — 55
  3. Name a pasta shape — 57
  4. Name a Pixar feature film — 31
  5. Name a chemical element whose name ends in "-ium" — 79
  6. Name a sport that has ever been part of the Summer Olympics — 53
  7. Name an instrument found in a symphony orchestra — 51

The very first daily dive, and it set the pattern: only 31 Pixar features counted, where Elio was the 100-point answer, and the pasta prompt at 57 went to su filindeu, a Sardinian pasta almost nobody can name. Best deep cuts: kouprey for K animals, São Tomé and Príncipe for Africa, Basque pelota for Olympic sports and the Wagner tuba for orchestra instruments.
