How to approach it
Rank candidates by reach rather than reputation, then work downward. Start with national titles, step down to county and city mastheads, then to weekly sheets covering a single street or school. Change the axis and go through broadcasting, agencies and internet-only ventures, since each medium coins names differently. Take subjects one at a time and ask what exists for business, athletics, worship, farming, medicine and the arts. Finish with oddities: plenty of mastheads begin with a numeral, a symbol, an acronym or a word from a tongue you do not speak, and those are precisely the entries other players forget. Write down everything you can honestly name, because obscurity pays and a modest, confident set beats a famous one.
Get a hint
Begin with the endless fringe of publishing: nearly every town, trade association, congregation and diaspora community sustains at least one title of its own, and most of those names never travel beyond their own street.
A little more
Move next to mastheads that hardly ever get quoted elsewhere: hobby monthlies, union and student papers, small broadcasters and the agencies that supply copy to bigger newsrooms.
One step further
Bear in mind that a masthead may open with a numeral, a punctuation mark, a lone letter or a script you cannot read, so let those odd shapes jog your memory instead of skipping past them.

Why these answers count
The official tally came to 99,215 entries, and the score spread shows that nearly every honest attempt was accepted at some level: one pick reached the full 100, while 98,529 sat at 85 and only 658 landed at 60. No entry in the top band came from a famous masthead; the single 100 went to The Tombstone Epitaph, a long-lived sheet from a very small market that few players outside its home ground could recall. The 85 tier holds the enormous international tail, where :24 (Slovakia), ¡Ahora! and ¡Alarma! sit beside thousands of small, punctuation-heavy names from places most solvers have never worked in. They score well because almost nobody can retrieve them, yet each one is a real, documented newsroom. The 60 group collects picks that are simply easier to reach, whether through size, easy translation or an obvious national origin. What drives value here is rarity, not prestige: a household name that millions could list earns less than a municipal weekly only a neighbour would remember.
