25-second pick · +85

Aemilianus Deep Cut

10 letters · 1 word · ~2s to type · 95 accepted answers on the sheet

If the first word feels too easy, it probably scores 10. We would type Aemilianus: Deep Cut, +85, 10 letters, about 2 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on Augustus, Caligula, Constantine the Great, or Nero — those are Plankton. The trench answer is Silbannacus (+100), but only take it if you can spell it cold.

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

Skip Augustus · Caligula · Constantine the Great · Nero
