25-second pick · +100

Aji Cito One in a Krillion

7 letters · 2 words · ~2s to type · 50 accepted answers on the sheet

If the first word feels too easy, it probably scores 10. We would type Aji Cito: One in a Krillion, +100, 7 letters, about 2 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on Bell pepper, Habanero, or Jalapeño — those are Plankton. It is also the One in a Krillion on this sheet, so the rare pick and the typeable pick are the same.

Skip Bell pepper · Habanero · Jalapeño
