Picking an answer that scores

Stuck on the letter I mid-game? In Scattergories the best answer is one no one else writes — so scan this list for a less-obvious pick rather than the first countrie everyone thinks of.

Scoring rewards being unusual: an answer nobody else gave is worth more than one two players share. With 9 options above, the safe pick and the clever pick are rarely the same word.

Turn this into a game — play Scattergories free with friends, or make a custom round with your own categories.
