Asmara Deep Cut

6 letters · 1 word · ~2s to type · 60 accepted answers on the sheet

Go past the first country or city a classroom map would show. We would type Asmara: Deep Cut, +85, 6 letters, about 2 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on Cairo, Cape Town, or Nairobi — those are Plankton. The trench answer is Bloemfontein (+100), but only take it if you can spell it cold.

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