If the first word feels too easy, it probably scores 10. We would type Baler: Deep Cut, +85, 5 letters, about 2 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on Office chair, Roller skates, Shopping cart, or Skateboard — those are Plankton. The trench answer is Center pivot (+100), but only take it if you can spell it cold.
Trench spelling, only if you already know it: Center pivot +100
