Guess The College walkthrough: an SEC clue leads to LSU

Working through the SEC clue to LSU

You skip the early clues. Clue 5 says SEC, so you swing on Georgia. Red. Clue 6 is basketball history, skip. Then clue 7 counts four poll era football titles and talks up the 2019 team and it clicks: LSU.

Five hundred points for a clean save

The card flips: 500 points for solving on clue 7, plus a fun fact about the school. Not the hero guess, but a clean save.

Guess The College tips for reading clues and saving points

Guessing on a hunch instead of skipping

Never skip when you have a hunch. A guess costs the same clue and might just be right.

The conference clue as the pivot point

Clue 5, the conference, is the pivot. Run the whole league in your head before the points drop again.

Letting school colors settle it at the end

Still alive at clue 11? Colors settle it. Crimson and cream is not scarlet and gray.
