Alligator Deep Cut

9 letters · 1 word · ~2s to type · 34 accepted answers on the sheet

Don't name the zoo animal a six-year-old would shout first. We would type Alligator: Deep Cut, +85, 9 letters, about 2 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on Bat, Bear, or Groundhog — those are Plankton. The trench answer is Fat-tailed dwarf lemur (+100), but only take it if you can spell it cold.

Trench spelling, only if you already know it: Fat-tailed dwarf lemur +100
