25-second pick · +100

Spix's macaw One in a Krillion

10 letters · 2 words · ~3s to type · 41 accepted answers on the sheet

If the first word feels too easy, it probably scores 10. We would type Spix's macaw: One in a Krillion, +100, 10 letters, about 3 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on Cockatoo, Macaw, or Parakeet — 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 Cockatoo · Macaw · Parakeet
