25-second pick · +100

Crosne One in a Krillion

6 letters · 1 word · ~2s to type · 40 accepted answers on the sheet

Walk past the supermarket default. We would type Crosne: One in a Krillion, +100, 6 letters, about 2 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on Carrot, Garlic, Onion, or Potato — 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.
