Rarity is set per question
We order eligible answers by likely recall for a broad football audience, then assign one of four tiers. For larger pools we spread the ordered names across the four tiers; a few prompts use individually assigned groups. The competition, era, and visibility of a team or player all matter. There are no live popularity percentages.
A worked example
In a question about Premier League champions from 1992/93 to 2024/25, Manchester United earns 20 points, Chelsea earns 45, Leicester City earns 70 and Blackburn Rovers earns 100. All four answers satisfy the same prompt. The result screen shows every eligible club.
A perfect board is 700 points
Every daily round offers at least one 100-point answer. Scores add across seven questions, with no penalty beyond the lost opportunity for a miss, pass or timeout. Streaks count completed daily matches, regardless of the score.
