25-second pick · +85

Catshark Deep Cut

8 letters · 1 word · ~2s to type · 53 accepted answers on the sheet

Don't name the zoo animal a six-year-old would shout first. We would type Catshark: Deep Cut, +85, 8 letters, about 2 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on Bull shark, Great white shark, Hammerhead shark, or Tiger shark — those are Plankton. The trench answer is Cookie cutter shark (+100), but only take it if you can spell it cold.

Trench spelling, only if you already know it: Cookie cutter shark +100

Skip Bull shark · Great white shark · Hammerhead shark · Tiger shark
