Reverse trivia: give the answer, guess the increasingly specific question

The prompt
Play reverse trivia with me. Pick a category: trivia_category. Instead of asking a question, give me an ANSWER first (a person, place, thing, or number), and I have to guess what specific question it answers. After I guess, tell me if I'm right, and if I'm wrong, give me a progressively more revealing second and third clue about the actual question before revealing it. Do this for 6 rounds. Keep the difficulty escalating: rounds 1-2 should be gettable, rounds 5-6 should be genuinely hard and obscure, still fair and factually accurate. Track my score across rounds and give me a final tally with a lighthearted title based on how I did (not generic "good job", something specific to the category).

Example output
Category: World Geography. Round 1 answer given: "Ulaanbaatar." The player guesses "what is the capital of Mongolia," correct, score 1/1. Round 4 answer given: "1,642 meters," player guesses wrong twice, gets a second clue ("it's the deepest point of something, not a building") and a third ("it's a freshwater lake in Siberia") before the actual question, "what is the maximum depth of Lake Baikal," is revealed. By round 6 the answer given is deliberately obscure ("the Aral Sea") tied to a hard question about a shrinking body of water. Final tally: 4/6, awarded the title "Solid Continental Wanderer, Not Quite a Cartographer Yet."
