How to approach it
Work outward from the plainest possible storage objects, because the scoring rewards volume and precision rather than novelty alone. Begin with the containers in your own home and name them by function and setting, then shift to the places where specialised holdings accumulate: laboratories, pharmacies, workshops, ships, places of worship, farms and burial practice. For each setting ask what a person there would need to keep dry, cool, sealed, sorted or safe, and convert that need into a noun. Compound names usually score better than bare ones, since a modifier narrows a broad object into something a specialist would recognise. Keep a running list as you go; the aim is dozens of plausible entries, not one perfect answer.
Get a hint
Start from human activity rather than from shape: ritual, trade, transport, medicine, fieldwork and the home each produced its own family of objects made for holding things.
A little more
Move from the everyday to the specialist: once ordinary storage is exhausted, push into craft workshops, laboratories, pharmacies, ships, temples and ceremonial settings.
One step further
Aim for compound names, a modifier plus a generic holding word, that describe a narrow, old or technical variant only a specialist would recognise.

Why these answers count
The reveal is enormous, with 2350 recorded answers, and the points curve is steep and revealing: a single answer took 100, 1811 took 85 and 478 took 60, while only 2290 cleared the threshold at all. The 85 band is the heart of it, populated by precise, often archaic or technical nouns such as Aampo, Abura tokkuri, Acetabulum, Agaseke, Alabastron and Alcarraza. Each is unmistakably a container, yet none is the first word a hurried player writes; that gap between recognisability and recall is where the points live. The lone 100, Safety coffin, is a rare compound that is both startling and exactly on category. The 60-point tier looks like the obvious end of the same category: correct, but common enough that a great many players reached it. Rarity is therefore the whole game. A specific historical or regional name earns more than a plain synonym, and a two-word compound that a specialist would recognise beats a single generic noun.
