25-second pick · +85

Antonovka Deep Cut

9 letters · 1 word · ~2s to type · 93 accepted answers on the sheet

If the first word feels too easy, it probably scores 10. We would type Antonovka: Deep Cut, +85, 9 letters, about 2 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, or Honeycrisp — those are Plankton. The trench answer is Esopus Spitzenburg (+100), but only take it if you can spell it cold.

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