About Puzzle #24

Puzzle #24 was the Uncommon Trivia daily puzzle for October 18, 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. Play it above first if you want to avoid spoilers, then open the answer notes to see the most common and the rarest answers.

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. This edition freezes its answers and scoring data; future refreshes do not change this snapshot. For reconstructed history, the original publication remains unverified. Rarity is not a judgment of how important an answer is, only of how rarely people look it up.

The rarest answers in the October 18, 2026 puzzle

Uncommon Trivia never collects the answers players type, so this is not a ranking of what people guessed. It ranks the accepted answers from the puzzle's seven categories by their monthly English Wikipedia views, lowest first, with the points each one scores in its own category. To keep one category from filling the list, it takes at most two answers from each.
