Amphipod Deep Cut

8 letters · 1 word · ~2s to type · 687 accepted answers on the sheet

Don't name the zoo animal a six-year-old would shout first. We would type Amphipod: Deep Cut, +85, 8 letters, about 2 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on Penguin, Polar bear, Seal, or Walrus — those are Plankton. The trench answer is Antarctic midge (+100), but only take it if you can spell it cold.

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