Look at the head as a region with layers: surface, soft tissue, bony frame and everything housed inside it, then think about which layer most people would skip. Only structures located in or on the head count; anything that belongs solely to the neck or shoulder, or a feature shared by the whole body, is out.

How to approach it

Begin by fixing the scope, because the head here means everything above the neck, running from the outer covering and the face through the bony box to the soft tissue inside it. Then work through systems one at a time instead of free-associating: coverings, muscles, glands, nerves, vessels, chambers, membranes and the joints between plates. Inside each system, push from the obvious large element toward the smaller sub-structure that carries its own name, since the scoring rewards precision rather than popularity. Keep a running list as you go and strike out anything that belongs only to the neck or the trunk. Finish by choosing names you could defend anatomically, and lean toward the ones that sound faintly technical rather than the ones a child would offer.

Get a hint

It has to be a physical component of the head, and the range is vast: bone, muscle, nerve, vessel, gland, membrane, cavity and surface feature all sit in the same family.

A little more

Specificity is where the value lives. A broad region loses ground to a precisely delimited structure, and the more exactly you can place your pick, the stronger it tends to score.

One step further

Include wrappings and gaps, not just organs: the thin sheet something is enclosed in, the space it occupies, the passage it runs through, and the seam where two plates knit together.

Why these answers count

Almost every entry in the reveal sits in the 85-point band, which tells you the field was flooded with correct but unremarkable anatomical names: the list carries hundreds of small structures such as Accessory nerve (85), Alar crease (85) and Anterior cranial fossa (85), all valid and all earning the same middling score. Only one answer reached 100 points, Habenula, and that is the real lesson, because a tiny buried structure few players would reach for outranks the familiar ones. The 98 answers at 60 points show the price of going broad: large obvious regions that crowds name, so repetition flattens their worth. The scoring rewards two things at once, being unambiguously part of the head and being obscure enough that most players never think of it. A recognisable landmark is a safe guess but a cheap one; a narrow technical sub-structure justifies the effort.
