Belmopan One in a Krillion

8 letters · 1 word · ~2s to type · 59 accepted answers on the sheet

Go past the first country or city a classroom map would show. We would type Belmopan: One in a Krillion, +100, 8 letters, about 2 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on Buenos Aires, Mexico City, Ottawa, or Washington, D.C. — 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.

Skip Buenos Aires · Mexico City · Ottawa · Washington, D.C.
