Annulus Deep Cut
7 letters · 1 word · ~2s to type · 70 accepted answers on the sheet
If the first word feels too easy, it probably scores 10. We would type Annulus: Deep Cut, +85, 7 letters, about 2 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on Circle, Rectangle, Square, or Star — those are Plankton. The trench answer is Reuleaux triangle (+100), but only take it if you can spell it cold.
Trench spelling, only if you already know it: Reuleaux triangle +100
