25-second pick · +85

Andy O'Brien Deep Cut

10 letters · 2 words · ~3s to type · 511 accepted answers on the sheet

If the first word feels too easy, it probably scores 10. We would type Andy O'Brien: Deep Cut, +85, 10 letters, about 3 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on Elon Musk, Jensen Huang, Mark Zuckerberg, or Satya Nadella — those are Plankton. The trench answer is Phebe Novakovic (+100), but only take it if you can spell it cold.

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

Skip Elon Musk · Jensen Huang · Mark Zuckerberg · Satya Nadella
