Do students have to spell the presidents' names perfectly?

The game accepts the most common variations and doesn't penalize for lack of capitalization, keeping the focus on learning rather than perfect typing.

Is there a time limit?

The game tracks your total time to encourage students to beat their personal best, but there is no forced countdown that ends the game prematurely.
