How to approach it
A planned sweep through the lexicon beats waiting for one memory to surface. Begin with a column of a dozen words you would say aloud, confirming each is a single word with no hyphen. Run that column through a thesaurus in both directions, collecting near-equivalents on either side of every starting point. Then enter registers most players skip: older vocabulary, regional speech, and clinical or psychological labels. Participles that portray a person rather than an action deserve a place too. Because rarity drives the scoring, depth in one narrow register pays better than scattering effort over predictable choices. Drop any candidate that needs an article, a helping verb or a comparison, and submit the single strongest word you have.
Get a hint
Begin with the words anyone would produce inside a minute, then treat that list as a floor rather than a goal, since the rest of the field writes exactly the same handful of obvious choices.
A little more
Notice how the recorded entries are shaped: many are lone adjectives, plenty are participles that portray a person instead of an action, and a few are nouns naming a condition rather than a sensation.
One step further
Then move to the less-visited shelves of the dictionary, where regional speech, older vocabulary and clinical or psychological labels wait, because distance from daily conversation is what the ranking rewards.

Why these answers count
The point spread carries one clear lesson. Only one entry reached the ceiling, Verklempt at 100, which hints that the very top was reserved for a term almost nobody retrieves from memory. The 85-point band is where the contest actually lives: close to a thousand entries sit there, among them Abased, Acedia and Ataraxia, and that cluster shows literary, archaic and clinical vocabulary paid far above everyday speech. The 60-point band absorbed the popular picks, the ones most players write first. What separated the scores was not precision so much as rarity. A genuine, exact and seldom-spoken term will nearly always outrank an obvious one typed in two seconds, because hundreds of strangers typed that same obvious thing. The practical lesson is to comb the edges of the dictionary rather than its centre, and to trust that a strange but real word is worth submitting.
