Bay cat Deep Cut

6 letters · 2 words · ~2s to type · 40 accepted answers on the sheet

Don't name the zoo animal a six-year-old would shout first. We would type Bay cat: Deep Cut, +85, 6 letters, about 2 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on Cheetah, Leopard, Lion, or Tiger — those are Plankton. The trench answer is Iriomote cat (+100), but only take it if you can spell it cold.

Trench spelling, only if you already know it: Iriomote cat +100
