Addax Deep Cut

5 letters · 1 word · ~2s to type · 105 accepted answers on the sheet

Don't name the zoo animal a six-year-old would shout first. We would type Addax: Deep Cut, +85, 5 letters, about 2 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on Giant panda, Gorilla, Polar bear, or Rhinoceros — those are Plankton. The trench answer is Northern white rhino (+100), but only take it if you can spell it cold.

Trench spelling, only if you already know it: Northern white rhino +100
