How the crowd plays it

"Pan flute" is what this prompt harvests from almost everyone — that reliability is what makes rarity measurable. Even "Saxophone", the connoisseur's decoy, is banked at just 15 points: the mirror has seen it a thousand times.

The deep water of this prompt belongs to answers like "Oboe" (85). Rarer still is "Bassoon", the One in a Noillirk gem: find it under a 25-second clock and a single prompt has carried you a full kilometre down.

Playing this prompt backwards

When this question surfaces in a dive, your 25 seconds are best spent in reverse: first, name the Plankton answer silently and let it go; second, refuse the Too Clever answer unless the clock is dying; third, search your second page — the runner-up, the older one, the one from the smaller place. In music, that means remembering that play the record backwards — literally the oldest trick in music. B-sides, deep cuts (the tier is named for them), and the instruments behind the singer: the mirror side of music is where the points are.

This prompt appears in the daily rotation, in Unlimited mode and — drilled on its own category — in the Music pack. Its full answer bank is also published whenever its day closes, in the archive.
