### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2019-11-20, version 1.33*

I think it would be great if you could increase the time allowed so more polyatomic ions show up, they usually only start to appear with 30 seconds left on the timer. Another way to do this would be to add a little time to the clock for each question or bonus you get right. Another great feature would be to incorporate molecular/covalent naming to the game as well. Finally, the naming part of the game should offer better answer choices besides typos. For example, naming NaF could include answer choices “natrium fluorine, sodium fluorine, sodium fluoride, and sodium monofluoride”. These are better choices to choose from because all answer choices are not necessarily typos, but just misused instances of IUPAC naming.

Thank you so much for making this game!

### 1/5 — Score will not update.
