25-second pick · +85

John Tyler Deep Cut

9 letters · 2 words · ~3s to type · 45 accepted answers on the sheet

The household-name pick is bait. Look one ring further out. We would type John Tyler: Deep Cut, +85, 9 letters, about 3 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on Abraham Lincoln, Barack Obama, Donald Trump, or George Washington — those are Plankton. The trench answer is Martin Van Buren (+100), but only take it if you can spell it cold.

Trench spelling, only if you already know it: Martin Van Buren +100

Skip Abraham Lincoln · Barack Obama · Donald Trump · George Washington
