Seldom

Seldom is a daily browser trivia game where a rare answer beats a correct but obvious one. Each day there is one open prompt, for example "Name a type of lizard" or "Name a word or two-word phrase that starts with 'top'". You give five different answers, and the fewer people who would think of each one, the better you do.

Scores are framed as 100 people from English-speaking countries: an answer scores how many of them would say "oh yes, obviously". Apple for "Name a fruit" scores near 100, while rambutan scores zero. A zero is called a Seldom, and five of them make a perfect 0 out of 500. What counts is where an answer is known, not where it comes from, so everyday local words and snacks tend to score low.

After each guess the game shows its score on a meter running from Obvious 100 to Seldom 0, with a label such as Common or Very rare and a short fun fact about the answer. Two hints a puzzle show part of an answer, at a cost to its score. The total gets a grade from Keep going to Legendary.

The prompt is the same for everyone and changes at midnight UTC. Seldom launched in April 2026, and a Puzzle Archive lists every past puzzle by date and number; catching up on one counts toward your streak. No account is needed for the daily, though signing in keeps stats across devices and shows a weekly ranking.

It suits players who like list and category games but would rather think sideways than recall facts.
