25-second pick · +85
Achar Deep Cut
5 letters · 1 word · ~2s to type · 120 accepted answers on the sheet
Walk past the supermarket default. We would type Achar: Deep Cut, +85, 5 letters, about 2 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on Butter chicken, Naan, or Samosa — those are Plankton. The trench answer is Chettinad chicken (+100), but only take it if you can spell it cold.
Trench spelling, only if you already know it: Chettinad chicken +100
