Still diving daily?
Before you go — today's Krillion dive is live. Check the answers you missed, or grab spoiler-free hints first.
What kind of game is Krillion?
Krillion is a daily trivia dive at krillion.io: seven prompts a day, 20 seconds each, and the rarer your answer — the fewer players worldwide typed the same word — the deeper it sinks and the more it scores. It is a knowledge game wrapped around a rarity mechanic, which is exactly the twist most Wordle-likes are missing.
Where Krillion players discover new dailies
Krillion itself tops the Playlin 40 — a weekly chart of daily web games at playlin.io, where it holds the #1 spot as of Chart #18 (September 2026). Browsing that chart is the fastest way to find your next daily habit: the list spans word games, logic puzzles and trivia, and it updates weekly.
Word games like Krillion
- Poople — a daily word ladder where you steer a start word to "POOP" in as few steps as possible. Same one-puzzle-a-day ritual, completely different mechanic (spelling drift, not rarity).
- Wordle — the classic five-letter daily guess. If you love Krillion's timer pressure but want pure deduction instead of trivia, this is the granddaddy of the format.
- Contexto — guess the secret word by semantic distance; the game tells you how close your guess is in meaning. Rewards odd vocabulary the same way Krillion rewards rare answers.
Trivia and knowledge games like Krillion
- Sporcle — thousands of timed quizzes on every category Krillion draws from: geography, food, movies, sports. The training ground for the trivia half of the game.
- Murdle — a daily murder mystery solved through logic and clues. Slower-paced than Krillion's 20-second rounds, but the same "one puzzle waiting each morning" loop.

Frequently asked questions
▸Are there Krillion dupes, knockoffs or clones?
There is no official Krillion clone — but Unlimited Classic and the themed packs on krillion.io are the closest thing to a Krillion dupe: the same rarity scoring and prompts, in endless free rounds that never touch your daily dive score. For a different game with the same rare-answer itch, the five alternatives above (Poople, Wordle, Contexto, Sporcle, Murdle) all run free in the browser.
▸Are there games like Krillion.io?
Yes — if you enjoy the rarity scoring at krillion.io, the six games above all run free in your browser. Poople and Wordle cover the daily word-ritual, Contexto rewards unusual vocabulary like Krillion rewards rare answers, and Sporcle drills the trivia side. The Playlin 40 chart tracks krillion.io and hundreds of other daily browser games week by week.
▸What game is most similar to Krillion?
The closest match depends on what you enjoy about Krillion. If it's the rarity mechanic (scoring more for unusual answers), Poople shares the "one puzzle a day" ritual with a different twist. If it's the trivia knowledge challenge, Sporcle is the deepest well of timed category quizzes. For a slower-paced morning puzzle, Murdle offers daily logic mysteries.
▸Is Krillion free to play?
Yes — Krillion runs entirely in the browser at krillion.io with no download, no account, and no paywall. The Daily Dive is free every day; Unlimited Classic and themed practice packs are also free for endless rounds outside the daily score.
▸How many prompts does Krillion have per day?
Seven prompts per day, 20 seconds each. You type the rarest answer you can think of for each category. The rarer your answer (fewer players worldwide typed the same word), the deeper you sink and the more you score. One daily dive, same for everyone.
▸How is Krillion different from Wordle?
Wordle rewards spelling deduction — narrowing a 5-letter word through feedback. Krillion rewards knowledge rarity — the fewer people who give the same answer, the higher you score. Both share the "one puzzle a day" ritual, but Krillion's scoring system flips the usual trivia logic: obvious answers score almost nothing.
▸Are there other daily trivia games like Krillion?
Sporcle has thousands of timed quizzes across every category Krillion draws from (geography, food, movies, sports). The Dles directory lists hundreds of free daily browser games including trivia variants. For a slower daily puzzle with knowledge, Murdle offers murder mysteries solved through logic.
