25-second pick · +100

Velarium One in a Krillion

8 letters · 1 word · ~2s to type · 405 accepted answers on the sheet

If the first word feels too easy, it probably scores 10. We would type Velarium: One in a Krillion, +100, 8 letters, about 2 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on Blinds, Curtains, Hat, or Sunglasses — 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.
