25-second pick · +85

Avgolemono Deep Cut

10 letters · 1 word · ~2s to type · 116 accepted answers on the sheet

If the first word feels too easy, it probably scores 10. We would type Avgolemono: Deep Cut, +85, 10 letters, about 2 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on BBQ sauce, Ketchup, Mayonnaise, or Mustard — those are Plankton. The trench answer is Sauce nantua (+100), but only take it if you can spell it cold.

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