How to approach it
Begin by sketching a rough map of everything a living body does, from gross functions visible to an observer down to events inside a single cell, and keep the map open rather than committing to a shortlist. Then test each candidate against the wording: if it names a thing rather than an activity, set it aside. Convert whatever survives into the most precise technical term you know, because the scoring rewards specificity and penalises vague umbrella words that thousands of other players will also submit. Fill gaps in the map systematically — one pass for mechanical actions, one for chemical conversions, one for control and signalling events — and submit the most obscure accurate term you can defend, since common everyday phrasing saturates quickly.
Get a hint
Start at the scale of whole systems and keep descending: the accepted list treats events at the level of organs, tissues, cells and molecules as equally valid entries.
A little more
Ask what a body does rather than what it has; verbs and nominalised actions are accepted, while structures, conditions and measurements are not, so phrase every candidate as something that happens.
One step further
Rarer, more technical entries have paid the most, so push past the obvious everyday actions into named events from physiology and biochemistry textbooks, where most players never look.

Why these answers count
Points here track how crowded a slot is, not how impressive the term sounds. The reveal held 1926 recorded answers, yet only 1881 cleared the sixty-point threshold, and the distribution is lopsided: a single answer took 100, 1707 sat at 85 and just 173 landed at 60. That shape tells you the middle band was enormous — a long tail of technical vocabulary that almost nobody else thought of — while the bottom of the scale was reserved for a small set of phrases so obvious that they were effectively shared property. Nasal cycle, at 100, was the lone standout, and entries such as 5' capping, Abdominal reflex and Acrosome reaction sit at 85: precise, textbook-register events that read as specialised even to players who recognise them. Everyday wording pulled the 60-point crowd. The practical lesson is that specificity, not familiarity, is what separates a good answer from a scoring one.
