How to approach it
The productive route is breadth before depth. Fix a grid of scales — held in one hand, pushed, towed, self-propelled — and run every domain across it: raising plants, moving earth on a building site, extracting material underground, working wet ground, working hard ground, and the small trades where one repetitive job produced a purpose-built implement. Write down everything the grid throws up, including the entries that feel too strange to submit, because the scoring inverts the usual instinct and pays best for the most specialised name. Only once the list is long should you prune it, dropping anything that is a material, a process or a job title rather than a physical object, and keeping the regional and historical vocabulary that a general audience would never reach for.
Get a hint
Start with the scale of the job: something you hold in one hand, something you push ahead of you, something you drive. Each scale has its own vocabulary, and the puzzle rewards moving up and down it.
A little more
Then shift from object to trade: the person raising plants for sale, the crew opening a street to reach a pipe, the team at a rock face underground. Each has an implement built for that one job and named after it.
One step further
Finally, work the margins: regional and historical vocabulary, implements tied to a single crop, a single surface or a single soil type, and the tiny hand versions sold for one hobby. Obscurity is what pays here.

Why these answers count
The scoring rewarded reach, not recognition. The single hundred-point entry, golf hole cutter, is an implement most people have never seen and would never think to say, which is precisely why it topped the board. Behind it sits a long shelf of eighty-five-point answers that are just as specialised but a little easier to reach once you start thinking in trades and regions: air spade, almocafre, angady, antler mattock. Each names one narrow job — lifting turf without wrecking roots, working a particular soil, cutting a particular crop — and each asks for vocabulary beyond the everyday. The ordinary entries sat in the sixty-point band, a round-point shovel, a garden fork or a camping trowel, the ones anybody would call out first, and that familiarity is exactly what flattens their worth. Rarity is the currency here: an answer earns more the fewer players could have produced it, so the winning move is to keep pushing past the obvious names into dialect, history and single-purpose engineering.
