25-second pick · +85

Apricot pie Deep Cut

10 letters · 2 words · ~3s to type · 69 accepted answers on the sheet

If the first word feels too easy, it probably scores 10. We would type Apricot pie: Deep Cut, +85, 10 letters, about 3 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on Apple pie, Cherry pie, or Pumpkin pie — those are Plankton. The trench answer is Stargazy pie (+100), but only take it if you can spell it cold.

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