Andrology Deep Cut

9 letters · 1 word · ~2s to type · 95 accepted answers on the sheet

Leave the textbook headline for later — it is usually Plankton. We would type Andrology: Deep Cut, +85, 9 letters, about 2 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on Biology, Geology, Psychology, or Zoology — those are Plankton. The trench answer is Carcinology (+100), but only take it if you can spell it cold.

Trench spelling, only if you already know it: Carcinology +100
