BBMak One in a Krillion

5 letters · 1 word · ~2s to type · 58 accepted answers on the sheet

The household-name pick is bait. Look one ring further out. We would type BBMak: One in a Krillion, +100, 5 letters, about 2 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on Backstreet Boys, NSYNC, or One Direction — those are Plankton. It is also the One in a Krillion on this sheet, so the rare pick and the typeable pick are the same.
