Aden Deep Cut

4 letters · 1 word · ~2s to type · 55 accepted answers on the sheet

Go past the first country or city a classroom map would show. We would type Aden: Deep Cut, +85, 4 letters, about 2 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on Bangkok, Beijing, New Delhi, or Seoul — those are Plankton. The trench answer is Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte (+100), but only take it if you can spell it cold.

Trench spelling, only if you already know it: Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte +100
