Krillion Statistics: Recorded Answers by Rarity Tier

Current tier counts, roster-size comparisons and a missing-gem calculation with dated coverage.

The saved archive contains 556,032 answer records across 756 prompts and 108 dated sheets, from July 16, 2026 to October 31, 2026. Each entry is counted within its dated question.

What is being counted?

  • Answer record: one entry in one dated question. The same word on two questions counts twice.
  • Prompt: one question slot, even if similar wording appears elsewhere.
  • Sheet: one saved Daily Dive date.

The following table recalculates from the saved files at build time. Its date range is shown in the introduction.

Questions with no saved gem entry

18 saved prompts without a gem entry ÷ 756 prompts × 100 = 2.38%.

That calculation concerns missing entries in saved data. The denominator is the number of dated prompts in this archive. The earlier fixed 525-prompt study used a different date window: 14 ÷ 525 ≈ 2.67%. Keep each count with its own date window and denominator.
