Pick the higher count
Choose the side you think has more AO3 works. One number stays hidden until the reveal.
Use the reveal
A correct answer keeps the streak alive. A miss ends the run and shows the count gap.
Tune the next run
Change difficulty, include broader fandom entries, or try the shared daily route.
Easy
Wide gaps
Best for learning which fandom lanes write at scale.
Normal
Balanced
A steady mix of obvious calls and closer archive reads.
Hard
Close calls
Better for players who already know common high-volume tags.
Extreme
Tiny gaps
Small differences matter. Use source, type, and fandom habits.
Archive output beats fame.
The better call is often about how much a fandom writes, not how famous the character is outside AO3.
