How to approach it
Treat the prompt as a data-recall exercise rather than a quiz on famous sights, because the scoring pool is drawn from mapping and gazetteer records. Build a mental checklist of categories first: natural features, civic and religious buildings, transport stops, hotels and resorts, streets and numbered addresses, rural hamlets and farm tracks. Then work through that checklist in the languages you can spell confidently, since translated and cognate forms of the two keywords open up whole countries at a stroke. Prefer entries you can describe precisely enough to be checked on a map, and drop anything you only half-remember. Breadth of category matters more than prestige here, so keep listing until you run out of confident candidates rather than stopping at the first famous name.
Get a hint
Start with the scale of the list rather than its fame: the accepted names run from world-famous sights down to numbered shopfronts, so almost any genre of place is fair game.
A little more
Move to languages and geography: the two words appear in translated and cognate forms across many countries, so scan village registers, parish names and rural tracks as well as city centres.
One step further
Then narrow by naming convention: numbered street addresses, motels, mosques and railway or metro stops supply the bulk of the deep cuts, and a plain official designation beats a poetic one.

Why these answers count
Scoring here behaves unlike a normal rarity ladder. Of the 22,494 recorded answers, 22,198 sit at 85 points, a vast flat middle band, while only 273 drop to 60 and a single entry reaches 100. That shape tells you where the value is. The 60-point tier is the famous, heavily repeated set that most players reach for first, so it is precisely what to skip. The 85 band is everything else: minor streets, small resorts and modest religious buildings, all effectively tied because almost nobody names any single one. 801 Grand and 1100 Grand Concourse and 451 E. Grand earn the same 85 as a numbered terrace in a country you have never visited. The lone 100-point answer is an outlier rather than a target; chasing it is a lottery, while stepping one pace past the obvious converts 60 into 85 every time.
