Rare-but-correct answers are the hardest kind for a validator to recognize, which is why depth-chasers hit this most.\n\n## What rejection actually looks like\n\nIn live play we confirmed the exact failure state: the answer appears in quotes, followed by **\"NOTHING LANDED · +0 PTS\"** and the flavor line \"never made it onto the reef.\" The prompt banks zero and the dive continues. Two different causes produce the same state:\n\n- **Constraint violations** — we answered \"Tuvalu\" to \"name a country with the letter Y in its name\" (no Y): rejected, correctly.\n- **Unrecognized valid words** — we answered \"pelota\" to \"a sport played with a stick, bat, or club\" (a real sport): also rejected.\n\n## What to check before blaming the validator\n\n1. **Spelling** — the safest [rare answers](\u002Fwiki\u002Ftips-to-beat-your-score) are worthless misspelled; double-check before the [25-second timer](\u002Fwiki\u002Fhow-to-play) beats you.\n2. **Prompt constraints** — required letters, regions, and categories are hard filters (see [prompt categories](\u002Fwiki\u002Fkrillion-prompt-categories)).\n3. **Ambiguity** — very obscure proper nouns are where validators fail most; a slightly less rare synonym sometimes lands.\n\n## Where to report validation gaps\n\nThe result screen links the official channels directly: \"Found a bug? Lost an unlock? Contact us\" for problems, and \"Got an idea for a question? Tell us what to ask\" with a submit box for prompt suggestions. r\u002FKrillion doubles as public feedback — validation complaints posted there are exactly the signal the developers tune against. Until then, treat near-misses as part of the beta trade-off the official site openly warns about.\n\nAfter the validator accepts an answer, use the [score calculator](\u002Ftools\u002Fscore-calculator) to check how the point values add up across all seven prompts.",{"wordCount":18,"h2Count":19,"internalLinkCount":19,"faqCount":10},317,4,"fffa42a5-b462-4515-c0d1-d757fe036a32","",null,[],[],[]]
