25-second pick · +100

Tug of war One in a Krillion

8 letters · 3 words · ~4s to type · 44 accepted answers on the sheet

Avoid the franchise or event that fills sports-bar talk. We would type Tug of war: One in a Krillion, +100, 8 letters, about 4 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on 100 metres, High jump, Long jump, or Marathon — those are Plankton. It is also the One in a Krillion on this sheet, so the rare pick and the typeable pick are the same.

Skip 100 metres · High jump · Long jump · Marathon
