25-second pick · +85

Agouti Deep Cut

6 letters · 1 word · ~2s to type · 39 accepted answers on the sheet

If the first word feels too easy, it probably scores 10. We would type Agouti: Deep Cut, +85, 6 letters, about 2 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on Hamster, Mouse, Rat, or Squirrel — those are Plankton. The trench answer is Laotian rock rat (+100), but only take it if you can spell it cold.

Trench spelling, only if you already know it: Laotian rock rat +100
