Krillion hints: FAQ

Do these Krillion hints spoil the answers?

No. Each prompt has three hints that get progressively more specific, and nothing is shown until you open it. The full answer list stays on a separate page.

When do the Krillion hints update?

With every Daily Dive: the prompts reset at 04:00 UTC and the hints refresh once the official answer sheet is published — normally within about 30–40 minutes of the reset.

What is the best hint for a high Krillion score?

Look at which starting letters are most common among accepted answers and go elsewhere in the alphabet — and skip the first answer that comes to mind, since that is usually Plankton.
