Medlar One in a Krillion

6 letters · 1 word · ~2s to type · 31 accepted answers on the sheet

Walk past the supermarket default. We would type Medlar: One in a Krillion, +100, 6 letters, about 2 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on Apple, Pear, or Pineapple — those are Plankton. It is also the One in a Krillion on this sheet, so the rare pick and the typeable pick are the same.
