Why this is the answer (spoilers)
This daily ran six prompts, each scored by a measured rule rather than by rarity. On “Name a Pokémon from the original 151.”, the winning answer was Aerodactyl at 10 letters, ahead of Bellsprout at 10 letters. On “Name a Best Picture winner.”, the winning answer was Wings at 1,929 year, ahead of All Quiet on the Western Front at 1,930 year. On “Name a country in the Caribbean.”, the winning answer was Saint Kitts and Nevis at 46,922, ahead of Dominica at 65,871. Naming mattered too: Saint Kitts and Nevis is also accepted as St Kitts and Nevis, St. Kitts and Nevis, Saint Kitts, which helps if you only know the short form. The counterintuitive one was “Name a Best Picture winner.”, where earlier winners, the higher you fly — so Wings outscored the more famous picks. Magnitudes and sources are the game's own, as listed in its archive notes for this date.
