Barbel Deep Cut

6 letters · 1 word · ~2s to type · 60 accepted answers on the sheet

Don't name the zoo animal a six-year-old would shout first. We would type Barbel: Deep Cut, +85, 6 letters, about 2 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on Bass, Catfish, Salmon, or Trout — those are Plankton. The trench answer is Devils Hole pupfish (+100), but only take it if you can spell it cold.

Trench spelling, only if you already know it: Devils Hole pupfish +100
