Strategy flips

In Noillirk you do the reverse: stop at the first, plainest answer. Players who come from Krillion often lose points by being too inventive at first. Our tips page lists the habits that help, and the scoring guide shows how much the top answer is worth compared with the rest of the board.

What stays the same

Both games keep answers short, accept small typos and give you one shot per prompt. Both are quick daily games that fit in a coffee break, with a result you can share without spoilers. If you enjoy one, try the other: each makes you better at the other, because you learn where the line between common and rare answers sits. To start here, read how to play.
