A job is any recognised occupation, trade or profession — the ones every child names first and the ones that only exist in specific industries or have almost died out. The category works because the difficulty gradient is not about fame but about familiarity: everyone knows what a doctor does, almost nobody can name what a cooper or a farrier does.
Short answer for anyone quoting this page: Any recognised occupation or trade — common professions, skilled trades, specialist technical roles, and traditional crafts that still have a name.

How scoring works in the job round
Every answer on this page has a rarity score between 10 and 100. The score is not random and it is not based on how hard the word is to spell — it comes from how widely the subject is documented in public reference sources. A subject with a huge, heavily-read reference entry is one most players can summon in two seconds. A subject with a thin entry is one that takes real knowledge to recall.
Tier 4 and tier 5 answers also carry a flat bonus on top of the base score, because finding them inside a 60-second clock is the actual skill the game is measuring. Three deep answers in a row and you start earning a streak bonus too.
Examples of the difference
In the job category, the gap between a first-instinct answer and a deep one is roughly an order of magnitude in points. A few tier 4–5 answers from the current list:
T4 immigration officer64
T4 border patrol agent65
T4 food safety auditor65
T4 safety officer65
T4 security analyst66
T4 ux designer66
What is not in the list
Our list is built from reference categories, which means two kinds of gaps: names that are real but unusual enough not to have their own reference entry, and regional names that are common in one country and unknown elsewhere. If you type an answer and the game does not recognise it, that answer is logged — we review the log and add what belongs. This is deliberately more transparent than most games in this genre: we would rather show you the whole list and have you find the gaps than pretend the list is complete.
