Palamon One in a Krillion

7 letters · 1 word · ~2s to type · 50 accepted answers on the sheet

If the first word feels too easy, it probably scores 10. We would type Palamon: One in a Krillion, +100, 7 letters, about 2 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on Hamlet, Juliet, Macbeth, or Romeo — 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.

Skip Hamlet · Juliet · Macbeth · Romeo
