Lyrebird One in a Krillion

8 letters · 1 word · ~2s to type · 61 accepted answers on the sheet

Don't name the zoo animal a six-year-old would shout first. We would type Lyrebird: One in a Krillion, +100, 8 letters, about 2 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on Canary, Robin, or Sparrow — 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.
