Aye-aye One in a Krillion

6 letters · 1 word · ~2s to type · 107 accepted answers on the sheet

Don't name the zoo animal a six-year-old would shout first. We would type Aye-aye: One in a Krillion, +100, 6 letters, about 2 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on Bat, Fox, Owl, or Raccoon — 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.
