25-second pick · +85

Cricket Deep Cut

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

Avoid the franchise or event that fills sports-bar talk. We would type Cricket: Deep Cut, +85, 7 letters, about 2 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on Athletics, Basketball, Gymnastics, or Soccer — those are Plankton. The trench answer is Basque pelota (+100), but only take it if you can spell it cold.

Trench spelling, only if you already know it: Basque pelota +100
