Picture the hazards people meet at work, in sport and in ritual: impact, cuts, heat, current, chemicals, infection, cold water and falls. A single named garment or accessory counts if its purpose is guarding the body from a specific harm; ordinary daily dress, fashion and purely decorative pieces do not.

How to approach it

Work the category from the outside in. First list situations where the body meets a hostile force, since each one implies its own kit: construction, forestry, welding, electrical work, laboratories, farms, hospitals, kitchens, contact sport, riding, winter travel, rescue and combat. For every setting, ask what is worn and why, and keep the phrasing concrete rather than generic. Compound descriptions earn more than single words because they pin down the hazard and the wearer at once. Then push into rarer corners: historical and ceremonial defence, religious and folk charms meant to ward off harm, medical and disability aids, water and altitude equipment, and gear tied to a single trade or sport. Finally, run through the alphabet to shake loose entries you skipped, and prefer the most specific label you can defend.

Get a hint

Start with the settings rather than the objects: building sites, kitchens, labs, farms, hospitals, workshops, racetracks, ranges and cold water all demand something extra.

A little more

Then narrow by the harm being blocked — impact, puncture, laceration, burn, electric shock, dust, infection, drowning, or a fall from height — and ask what is worn for it.

One step further

Finally get precise: compound names do well, joining a material, a hazard or a trade to the garment, and historical or ceremonial body defences are fair game.

Why these answers count

The distribution is unusually flat: 1,075 of the 1,336 recorded answers sit at 85 points, so once a guess clearly matched the brief it landed in the same band almost regardless of how exotic it was. Aluminized hood, anti-vibration gloves and arc-rated face shield are all 85s, and so are far stranger entries such as Aetites or Agnus Dei; the game rewarded fit, not fame. The single 100, Chainmail shark suit, stands out because it stacks two rare specifics — a material and a scenario — into one unmistakable phrase. The 235 answers at 60 mark the other end: picks that were probably broader or more predictable, the kind of thing many players would reach for first, so the reveal treated them as ordinary rather than distinctive. The practical lesson is that precision pays more than plausibility. A tight compound that names the material, the hazard or the trade reads as a rarer, better-aimed answer, while a short generic label lands in the crowded middle.
