Ghân-buri-Ghân One in a Krillion

10 letters · 1 word · ~2s to type · 114 accepted answers on the sheet

The household-name pick is bait. Look one ring further out. We would type Ghân-buri-Ghân: One in a Krillion, +100, 10 letters, about 2 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on Aragorn, Frodo, Gandalf, or Gollum — 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.

Skip Aragorn · Frodo · Gandalf · Gollum
