25-second pick · +85

Al Franken Deep Cut

9 letters · 2 words · ~3s to type · 99 accepted answers on the sheet

If the first word feels too easy, it probably scores 10. We would type Al Franken: Deep Cut, +85, 9 letters, about 3 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on Adam Sandler, Eddie Murphy, Kristen Wiig, or Tina Fey — those are Plankton. The trench answer is Michael O'Donoghue (+100), but only take it if you can spell it cold.

Trench spelling, only if you already know it: Michael O'Donoghue +100
