25-second pick · +85

Alboran Sea Deep Cut

10 letters · 2 words · ~3s to type · 64 accepted answers on the sheet

If the first word feels too easy, it probably scores 10. We would type Alboran Sea: Deep Cut, +85, 10 letters, about 3 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on Caribbean Sea, Mediterranean Sea, or Red Sea — those are Plankton. The trench answer is Sea of Crises (+100), but only take it if you can spell it cold.

Trench spelling, only if you already know it: Sea of Crises +100
