Breland Deep Cut

7 letters · 1 word · ~2s to type · 253 accepted answers on the sheet

Go past the first country or city a classroom map would show. We would type Breland: Deep Cut, +85, 7 letters, about 2 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on Blake Shelton, Carrie Underwood, Dolly Parton, or Garth Brooks — those are Plankton. The trench answer is DeFord Bailey (+100), but only take it if you can spell it cold.

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