Donkeyskin Deep Cut

10 letters · 1 word · ~2s to type · 58 accepted answers on the sheet

If the first word feels too easy, it probably scores 10. We would type Donkeyskin: Deep Cut, +85, 10 letters, about 2 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on Cinderella, Hansel and Gretel, Little Red Riding Hood, or Sleeping Beauty — those are Plankton. The trench answer is Kate Crackernuts (+100), but only take it if you can spell it cold.

Trench spelling, only if you already know it: Kate Crackernuts +100

Skip Cinderella · Hansel and Gretel · Little Red Riding Hood · Sleeping Beauty
