How to approach it
Leaving your own vocabulary behind is the first move: head for glossaries of local speech, older editions and specialist registers that nobody reads for pleasure. Build candidates out of their letter skeleton rather than their sense, taking an awkward consonant frame, slotting open sounds into combinations that look impossible, then checking whether the result stands as a genuine headword. Keep score as you go and discard anything that proves to be a proper noun, an inflection of a longer word or a two-word phrase, since those three sink most attempts. Rarity drives the payoff, so whenever two candidates look equally solid, submit the one you have never met in print.
Get a hint
Weigh how vast a full wordbook is against how few of its five-letter inhabitants ever reach everyday speech; that unused majority is exactly the territory worth working.
A little more
Sort candidates by where they come from instead of by meaning: dialect glossaries, spellings abandoned centuries ago, occupational vocabulary and borrowings from far-off tongues all sit inside the accepted pool.
One step further
Judge a candidate by its letter frame before its sense: sour consonant clusters, odd runs of open sounds and endings that hardly ever close a word, then verify one attested entry rather than a derived variant.

Why these answers count
Boldness outearns fluency in this reveal. Of the 14,855 recorded answers, 13,614 cleared the sixty-point bar, and the internal split is revealing: 10,213 stalled at 85, another 3,400 finished on 60, and a single answer reached 100. That summit belongs to qajaq, a spelling so outlandish that few players could produce it by accident, which is precisely why it pays. The 85 band is thronged with attested but rarely written entries such as aahed, abaca, abaft and abysm, words you only reach by prospecting outside everyday vocabulary on purpose. The 60 band gathers the familiar five-letter stock: valid, easy to recall, and therefore worth less. Correctness alone opens the door; the score then measures how far a pick sits from the obvious, so a real entry with a peculiar look outranks a common word every time.
