25-second pick · +85

Algoa Bay Deep Cut

8 letters · 2 words · ~3s to type · 158 accepted answers on the sheet

If the first word feels too easy, it probably scores 10. We would type Algoa Bay: Deep Cut, +85, 8 letters, about 3 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on Gulf of Mexico, Hudson Bay, or San Francisco Bay — those are Plankton. The trench answer is Gulf of Khambhat (+100), but only take it if you can spell it cold.

Trench spelling, only if you already know it: Gulf of Khambhat +100
