If the first word feels too easy, it probably scores 10. We would type Proofer: Deep Cut, +85, 7 letters, about 2 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on Blender, Dishwasher, Microwave, or Oven — those are Plankton. The trench answer is Salamander broiler (+100), but only take it if you can spell it cold.
Trench spelling, only if you already know it: Salamander broiler +100
