25-second pick · +85

Antenna Deep Cut

7 letters · 1 word · ~2s to type · 293 accepted answers on the sheet

If the first word feels too easy, it probably scores 10. We would type Antenna: Deep Cut, +85, 7 letters, about 2 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on CPU, Keyboard, Monitor, or Mouse — those are Plankton. The trench answer is Clock generator (+100), but only take it if you can spell it cold.

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