Bivalve Deep Cut

7 letters · 1 word · ~2s to type · 41 accepted answers on the sheet

Don't name the zoo animal a six-year-old would shout first. We would type Bivalve: Deep Cut, +85, 7 letters, about 2 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on Clam, Octopus, Snail, or Squid — those are Plankton. The trench answer is Vampire squid (+100), but only take it if you can spell it cold.

Trench spelling, only if you already know it: Vampire squid +100
