25-second pick · +85

Champ Deep Cut

5 letters · 1 word · ~2s to type · 87 accepted answers on the sheet

If the first word feels too easy, it probably scores 10. We would type Champ: Deep Cut, +85, 5 letters, about 2 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on Four square, Hide and seek, Hopscotch, or Tag — those are Plankton. The trench answer is Knucklebones (+100), but only take it if you can spell it cold.

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