Job's tears One in a Krillion

9 letters · 2 words · ~3s to type · 254 accepted answers on the sheet

If the first word feels too easy, it probably scores 10. We would type Job's tears: One in a Krillion, +100, 9 letters, about 3 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on Barley, Corn, Oats, or Rice — 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.
