How to approach it
Work through the animal body as a supply chain rather than as food. Take a mental inventory in layers: outer coverings, hard parts, internal organs and fluids, and the residues left after processing. For each layer, sweep across industries that consume it — clothing and upholstery, cosmetics, hospital medicine, adhesives, fertiliser, instrument making, and traditional crafts. Then push past the obvious entries by recalling trade vocabulary: words that appear on ingredient labels, in conservation manuals, or in regional craft descriptions. Plural forms and technical synonyms usually unlock extra matches, and highly specific variants score better than generic ones. Finally, verify the exclusion: if the item is eaten as meat or belongs to the dairy group, drop it and look again.
Get a hint
Start with the broadest reading: the animal kingdom supplies raw stock to industries far beyond the dinner plate, from clothing workshops to hospital pharmacies.
A little more
Then narrow by function: ask whether the substance is a structural body part, a fluid or secretion, a casing, or a residue left behind after the animal is processed.
One step further
Aim for the specialised end of the supply chain: substances named in older trade vocabularies, pharmaceutical isolates and craft terms that rarely appear in ordinary conversation.

Why these answers count
The reveal is unusually generous: 721 recorded answers, 703 of which cleared 60 points. That shape tells you the question was tested as a wide net, not a narrow key. The middle band is where almost everything landed, with 577 answers at 85 points, while 125 sat at the 60-point floor and exactly one reached 100. Sea silk, the single maximum, is a material so obscure that most players would never retrieve it under time pressure, so it earns the outlier score. Entries such as Abbamele, Adrenaline or Alpaca fur show what the 85 band looks like: precise, slightly technical or regional names that still sit recognisably inside the category. Nothing in the reveal suggests that guessing a plain, everyday term is punished harshly — it simply parks you at the floor. The practical lesson is to write the specific version of whatever you first think of, then add a second, stranger variant if the clock allows.
