25-second pick · +85

Alouette Deep Cut

8 letters · 1 word · ~2s to type · 204 accepted answers on the sheet

If the first word feels too easy, it probably scores 10. We would type Alouette: Deep Cut, +85, 8 letters, about 2 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on Baa Baa Black Sheep, Humpty Dumpty, Jack and Jill, or Mary Had a Little Lamb — those are Plankton. The trench answer is I Had a Little Nut Tree (+100), but only take it if you can spell it cold.

Trench spelling, only if you already know it: I Had a Little Nut Tree +100
