Plankton in Krillion: 10 Points and Dated Examples
Plankton is the lowest scoring tier: 10 points, worth 100 meters of dive depth. A Plankton result is a recorded accepted answer, but the label does not provide a published player-submission percentage.
The Plankton tier in the data
Counted from 64 saved Daily Dive sheets — July 16 through September 17, 2026, covering 448 prompts:
| Tier | Score | Depth | Listed answers | Avg where present | Most in one prompt |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Plankton | +10 | 100 m | 1,959 | 4.4 | 19 |
Average basis: all 448 logged prompts. These are listed answers, not player-submission totals or odds of reaching the tier. The official FAQ describes how rarity is assessed.
Plankton has 1,959 entries across the 448 recorded prompts, an average of 4.4 per prompt. It is the smallest saved roster of the six tiers in this snapshot. That does not prove it carried the most players: these files list answers and assigned tiers, not how many people submitted each one.
Real Plankton examples
From launch day's "name an animal whose name starts with K" prompt — July 16, 2026's sheet shows the full roster these came from:
- Kangaroo — a marsupial
- Koala — a tree-dwelling marsupial
How to use Plankton examples
Kangaroo and Koala were assigned Plankton for the launch-day K-animal question. Egypt received Plankton on that day's Africa-country question. These examples show why the exact prompt matters; they do not predict a future result.
A recorded 10-point answer beats an unaccepted zero-point guess in the scoring table. Check the prompt's constraints before trying a different name solely to avoid this tier.
Drill the instinct in practice mode — real past dives, real tiers, no timer and no risk.
Neighbors on the ladder
Just above Plankton sits Too Clever (15 points), followed by Schooler (30), Rare (60), Deep Cut (85) and One in a Krillion (100).
The ladder orders scores, not a measured distribution of player choices.
The full six-tier ladder — scores, depths and fresh examples from the latest dive — lives on the rarity tiers pillar.
Frequently asked questions
What does Plankton mean in Krillion?
Plankton is the lowest scoring tier, worth 10 points or 100 meters of dive depth. A listed Plankton answer counts for that recorded prompt; the public data does not tell us what share of players submitted it.
Is getting Plankton bad in Krillion?
It is an accepted 10-point result rather than a zero-point guess. Seven Plankton results total 70 points. Whether to try another answer depends on the prompt and your confidence that it fits.
Why are there so few Plankton answers in the archive?
The July 16–September 17, 2026 snapshot lists 1,959 Plankton entries, or 4.4 per prompt. That describes the size of the prepared answer roster, not the number of players who chose those answers. The official FAQ says rarity methods vary by question.
