25-second pick · +85

Chas Newby Deep Cut

9 letters · 2 words · ~3s to type · 10 accepted answers on the sheet

The household-name pick is bait. Look one ring further out. We would type Chas Newby: Deep Cut, +85, 9 letters, about 3 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on John Lennon or Paul McCartney — those are Plankton. The trench answer is Jimmie Nicol (+100), but only take it if you can spell it cold.

Trench spelling, only if you already know it: Jimmie Nicol +100
