What does Too Clever mean?
Krillion’s FAQ describes it as a supposedly obscure answer that knowledgeable players often reach for. It is a scoring label, not a claim that the answer is factually incorrect.

Why knowing an unusual answer is not enough
Knowing the answer establishes whether it fits. The score then depends on the scoring model. Editorial ratings, frequency in reference material and real player counts are different measurements; they should not be treated as interchangeable.
Compare choices before practicing
The six-question game here uses fixed knowledge points and has no Too Clever penalty. Use its answer tools to compare the score and accepted spelling for the exact prompt.
Example: a European Union member
- France
- 12 points
- Czechia
- 65 points
- Malta
- 96 points
These are the EU question’s fixed practice ratings, not a live survey or a record of Krillion tier assignments.

A low score still means a matched answer earned points. A rejected answer did not match the selected set. Check the rule and spelling before treating the two as the same problem.
