Like it, and unlike it
- Krillion shares the seven-prompt rare-answer shape. Unlike Curryillion it is general knowledge, gives 25 seconds, and sells Unlimited and Archive.
- Long Shot is the closest NBA substitute on the timer. Unlike Curryillion it scores a distance-style range and keeps past games.
- Immaculate Grid also rewards a rare correct cell, but it is a 3 by 3 constraint puzzle, not an open recall prompt. Grid number on the day checked was 1199.
- Poeltl is NBA knowledge by deduction. The page for 5 Nov 2026 was puzzle 1715, resetting at midnight Eastern.
- Crowdict uses the same crowd-versus-rare tension across 10 questions of general knowledge.
- Cosmillion is the closest word-shaped cousin: six tiers and its own Archive and Unlimited. A price for those doors was not on the page I read, so the cell stays at 'listed'.
- Sporcle is a practice library, not a daily. It is useful for building the lists that make a deep Curryillion cut easier to recall.
Each game has its own daily calendar. Long Shot resets at midnight Eastern; Immaculate Grid states 06:00 Eastern; Crowdict states local midnight. Check the game's own date before comparing results.
Questions
