How this page works

Krillion is the free daily word-rarity game at krillion.io: 7 prompts a day, 25 seconds each, and the rarer your valid answer, the more points — and dive depth — you earn. This page logs Krillion game answers for September 16, 2026, compiled by Marina Voss from the game's public daily data and last verified on September 16, 2026. New here? Read how to play Krillion, or dig into the six rarity tiers to see what separates a Plankton from a One in a Krillion. You can also browse every question ever asked, check a word in the answer checker, or study the rarest answers on record. Want more than one dive a day? See every way to play Krillion unlimited, or explore games like Krillion for your next daily habit.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Krillion daily dive?

The daily dive is Krillion's one shared puzzle per day at krillion.io: 7 prompts, 25 seconds each, and rarer valid answers score more — points convert into dive depth at 10 meters per point. A new dive goes live at the 04:00 UTC reset, same for every player worldwide. This page logs each day's complete answer sheet once the dive closes.

What are today's Krillion questions?

Today's 7 Krillion questions are listed at the top of this page — the quick list shows every prompt with its rarest accepted answer. Krillion releases a new set of questions daily at the 04:00 UTC reset; yesterday's set is in the archive.

Is Krillion Answers an official site?

No. Krillion Answers (krilliongame.net) is an independent, fan-made project and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the creators of Krillion. The official game lives at krillion.io — we simply log each day's answers after the dive closes.

Where do these Krillion answers come from?

Every sheet is compiled from the public daily puzzle data published by krillion.io itself — the same answer list the game reveals after each day's dive. We fetch it programmatically, group it by the game's six rarity tiers, and publish it unchanged. Read the full process on our methodology page.

When is today's sheet updated?

Krillion resets daily at 04:00 UTC (midnight US Eastern). Our automated fetch runs on a schedule after the reset (04:20 UTC, with a 05:00 UTC backstop), and today's answers are typically live within about twenty minutes. The countdown above shows the exact time remaining until the next reset.

What is the spoiler policy here?

The quick list up top shows only each prompt's single rarest answer as a teaser. Every full answer list is collapsed behind a tap-to-reveal button, grouped by rarity tier, so you can peek at exactly one tier — or one prompt — without ruining the rest. The 7 prompt texts themselves are spoiler-free: they are what the game shows you before you answer anyway.
