About Puzzle #8
Puzzle #8 was the Uncommon Trivia daily puzzle for October 2, 2026. It asked seven category questions, and every accepted answer is scored by how rarely its English Wikipedia page is viewed: the most viewed answer in each category earns 10 points and the least viewed earns 100. It is still today's puzzle, so its answers stay hidden until it ends.
Rarity here comes from one public number per answer: the median of its monthly English Wikipedia page views over six full months, currently March to August 2026. Fewer readers means a rarer answer and a higher score. We refresh these numbers from time to time, so the numbers on this page can differ a little from the scores players saw on Oct 2, 2026. Rarity is not a judgment of how important an answer is, only of how rarely people look it up.
The answer notes and the rarest answers for Puzzle #8 appear here once it ends, at 00:00 UTC. Until then, play it from the home page and compare scores with friends.
