How to approach it
Treat the suffix as a filter rather than a search term. First, empty your memory of towns you already know, then deliberately shrink the scale: think of the smallest named places you have ever seen on a map, in a postal address or on a road sign, because that is where the density lies. Next, work the morphology: take a handful of common first elements and try attaching them to the ending, then do the reverse and test longer tails that merely contain it. Keep a running list and deduplicate hard, since variants differing by one letter are the difference between a fresh answer and a repeat. Finally, sweep beyond the familiar naming region into transliterated forms and multi-word official names, which is where the unclaimed entries concentrate.
Get a hint
Begin with the ending itself: it is one of the most productive settlement suffixes in a whole family of related naming traditions, so the pool runs to thousands of entries and the reward comes from depth rather than from spotting the pattern.
A little more
Move from endings to shapes: many qualifying names are compounds whose first element is a personal name, a tree, a stream or a direction word, and a large share hide the ending inside longer tails such as -ston, -nton or -lton, so scanning those patterns multiplies your list.
One step further
The richest seam is the tier most players skip: tiny hamlets, absorbed suburban districts, isolated parish centres and transliterated names from unrelated naming systems, where near-identical forms cluster and each fresh variant is still unclaimed.

Why these answers count
A flat top tells the story: 3349 of the 3472 recorded answers sit on 85 points, so the scorer accepted almost any genuine settlement and then separated players by duplication rather than by obscurity alone. The solitary 100 went to Thaton, the rarest entry the scorer recognised, while entries such as Abberton and Accrington held 85 but shared their credit with a crowd. The 99 answers at 60 most plausibly represent the widely repeated choices, still correct but crowded enough for the overlap penalty to bite. Rarity therefore paid in one direction only: not exotic spelling for its own sake, but distance from whatever the average solver types first. A one-letter variant of a popular name earns less than an unfashionable hamlet, and the multi-word, hyphenated and transliterated forms in the list are the ones that stayed cheap to claim. Depth of recall beat cleverness.
