25-second pick · +85

Morepork Deep Cut

8 letters · 1 word · ~2s to type · 44 accepted answers on the sheet

If the first word feels too easy, it probably scores 10. We would type Morepork: Deep Cut, +85, 8 letters, about 2 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on Barn owl or Snowy owl — those are Plankton. The trench answer is Laughing owl (+100), but only take it if you can spell it cold.

Trench spelling, only if you already know it: Laughing owl +100
