How to approach it

The suffix is productive, so treat this as a word-building exercise rather than a memory test. Write the ending on its own, then list everything the practice can be applied to: body parts, instruments, materials, landscapes, populations, light and sound. Attach each candidate to the ending and check whether the result is a term you have actually seen in a textbook, a journal or a craft manual; if it feels constructed on the spot, it probably is not recorded. Then add qualifiers such as a technique, a contrast medium, a wavelength or a scale, because longer and more specific names are usually the ones a dictionary recognizes. Keep a list, prune duplicates and obvious non-words, and submit the variants you can spell with confidence.

Get a hint

Start from the suffix itself: it marks a practice of recording, imaging or describing something, so hunt for the object being recorded rather than for a whole discipline.

A little more

Split the territory into three broad families: clinical imaging, the earth and life sciences that map or describe phenomena, and arts or crafts built on a writing or printing technique.

One step further

Push past the everyday members of the family into specialist compounds, where a body part, an instrument, a material or a measuring method sits in front of the suffix.

Why these answers count

The scoring here rewards specificity rather than cleverness. Only 51 of the 1,716 top-scoring entries sat at 60 points, while 1,664 clustered at 85, a distribution that tells you the field was dominated by specialized compounds, each obscure enough to clear the middle tier but not unique enough to break away. 3D mammography and 3D typography (85 each) are typical: a qualifier plus a familiar root, recognizable to a specialist and unknown to a general solver. Actigraphy (85) and Adoxography (85) sit in the same band, technical or archaic but documented. The lone 100-point answer, Steganography, was evidently picked by almost nobody else, so it collected the full rarity bonus. A plain, everyday member of the family lands in the low tier because hundreds of solvers reach for it first; stacking a modifier onto the root moves you into the 85 band, and only a genuinely surprising but real term reaches 100.
