WHEN AN ANSWER DOESN’T LAND
Right idea. Better wording.
Answer not accepted? Work through these six checks before discarding your idea.
Use the full name
Try the canonical name instead of an abbreviation or nickname.
Check the spelling
Look for missing letters, punctuation and the original title.
Stay in scope
A city cannot answer a country prompt. Use the specific kind of example requested.
Read every qualifier
Verify the date range, location, status and credited role.
Keep the answer specific
Use a single, clearly named example rather than a broad category or a list of alternatives.
Separate people from characters
If the prompt asks for a character, enter the character’s name rather than the actor who plays them.
BUILD YOUR RECALL
A deeper cut in every category.
Places: separate city, country and region. People: verify names and roles. Time periods: check both boundary dates. Status: make sure every condition fits.
Put a deeper answer to work.
