25-second pick · +85

Blewit Deep Cut

6 letters · 1 word · ~2s to type · 54 accepted answers on the sheet

If the first word feels too easy, it probably scores 10. We would type Blewit: Deep Cut, +85, 6 letters, about 2 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on Button mushroom or Portobello — those are Plankton. The trench answer is Huitlacoche (+100), but only take it if you can spell it cold.

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