25-second pick · +85

Asperitas Deep Cut

9 letters · 1 word · ~2s to type · 35 accepted answers on the sheet

If the first word feels too easy, it probably scores 10. We would type Asperitas: Deep Cut, +85, 9 letters, about 2 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on Cirrus, Cumulus, or Stratus — those are Plankton. The trench answer is Morning Glory cloud (+100), but only take it if you can spell it cold.

Trench spelling, only if you already know it: Morning Glory cloud +100
