25-second pick · +85

Blaze Deep Cut

5 letters · 1 word · ~2s to type · 63 accepted answers on the sheet

If the first word feels too easy, it probably scores 10. We would type Blaze: Deep Cut, +85, 5 letters, about 2 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on Carrie, It, or The Shining — those are Plankton. The trench answer is The Regulators (+100), but only take it if you can spell it cold.

Trench spelling, only if you already know it: The Regulators +100

Skip Carrie · It · The Shining
