25-second pick · +85

Coachwhip Deep Cut

9 letters · 1 word · ~2s to type · 71 accepted answers on the sheet

Don't name the zoo animal a six-year-old would shout first. We would type Coachwhip: Deep Cut, +85, 9 letters, about 2 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on Boa constrictor, Cobra, Python, or Rattlesnake — those are Plankton. The trench answer is Tentacled snake (+100), but only take it if you can spell it cold.

Trench spelling, only if you already know it: Tentacled snake +100
