25-second pick · +85

Babel Deep Cut

5 letters · 1 word · ~2s to type · 68 accepted answers on the sheet

If the first word feels too easy, it probably scores 10. We would type Babel: Deep Cut, +85, 5 letters, about 2 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on 21 or Thriller — those are Plankton. The trench answer is Christopher Cross (+100), but only take it if you can spell it cold.

Trench spelling, only if you already know it: Christopher Cross +100

Skip 21 · Thriller
