25-second pick · +85

Alois Deep Cut

5 letters · 1 word · ~2s to type · 338 accepted answers on the sheet

Go past the first country or city a classroom map would show. We would type Alois: Deep Cut, +85, 5 letters, about 2 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on Donald Trump, Narendra Modi, Vladimir Putin, or Volodymyr Zelensky — those are Plankton. The trench answer is Ahmed al-Sharaa (+100), but only take it if you can spell it cold.

Trench spelling, only if you already know it: Ahmed al-Sharaa +100

Skip Donald Trump · Narendra Modi · Vladimir Putin · Volodymyr Zelensky
