What the 15-point tier means

The official FAQ describes Too Clever as the familiar “obscure” pick: the unusual answer that comes readily to mind when you try to move beyond the obvious one. It is one of the six assigned tiers in a question’s answer set.

Read the displayed result before deciding what to review. A Too Clever badge calls for comparing other qualifying names. A retry message calls for checking the input and question conditions; the rejected-answer guide walks through that case.

The same word, two different questions

Kakapo shows why a useful review note includes the question as well as the name. These two saved results place it in different tiers:

Saved date and questionKakapo’s recorded tier
August 4: Name a parrot speciesToo Clever · 15
August 11: Name an animal threatened with extinctionDeep Cut · 85

When reviewing either date, compare the other names in that exact question before building your next recall note.

Turn a surprising result into a useful note

Write down the accepted name, the complete condition and the recorded tier. For Kakapo, “parrot species — August 4 — 15” and “threatened animal — August 11 — 85” preserve the two contexts in a few words. The 75-dive repeated-pick study groups 15 names with multiple Too Clever appearances if you want a smaller review list.

Check a candidate before entering it

  1. Read every condition. Keep the requested type, date boundary and spelling rule in view.
  2. Keep a qualifying fallback. Explore another branch only while you have time to enter a complete name.
  3. Check the name you can spell. Use the exact person, place, title or term requested by the question.
  4. Review the displayed tier afterward. Open the matching date, compare a few alternatives and add one useful connection to your notes.
