Krillion Answers for August 13, 2026

The rarest possible answer — almost no player finds it.

• Guinea-Bissau— The third Guinea, the one nobody types. Named for its capital so it wouldn't be mistaken for the others — it worked so well it vanished from memory.
• Kyrgyzstan— Buried mid-consonant-pileup, there it is. Remembering Kyrgyzstan under a timer and spelling it close enough to count — that's the hundred.

Genuinely obscure. Most players never think of it.

• Antigua and Barbuda— Anti-G-ua. Third syllable. Most people sail right past it.
• Bosnia and Herzegovina— Bosnia gets the headlines; Herzegovina brought the G.
• Equatorial Guinea
• Niger— Nigeria's quieter upstream neighbor. Same river, same G, a fraction of the traffic.
• Republic of the Congo
• Saint Vincent and the Grenadines— The G is out in the Grenadines, five words deep. Nobody makes that trip.
• Togo
• Tonga
• Trinidad and Tobago— The G clocked in on the Tobago side.

An overthought pick that scores below the middle of the board.

The most common answer on the board.

• Egypt
• Germany
• Greece

The rarest possible answer — almost no player finds it.

• Fainting couch— One raised end, no back, purpose-built for the corset-induced swoon. The Victorians engineered around the wardrobe instead of fixing it.
