Licorice One in a Krillion

8 letters · 1 word · ~2s to type · 303 accepted answers on the sheet

If the first word feels too easy, it probably scores 10. We would type Licorice: One in a Krillion, +100, 8 letters, about 2 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on Bean, Black bean, Chickpea, or Kidney bean — 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.
