Make it more fun #3

1) maybe switch the display of the photo and the common names. So a user sees a photo and chooses the proper genus name

2) find a way to make a stable result for a given query on a given day, like Wordle, so friends can share their results.

  1. Create a toggle for the list of possible genus names, so users with more expertise don't need to look at them all

  2. Remove previous days' answers from list of possibilities (could be computationally expensive without some kind of caching?)

  3. Display more info about the organism without needing to click to iNat. Other language names? Range map?

  1. limit the number of guesses and allow failure!

output translation of placename (eg did 'la' match Los angeles or louisiana or something else?) maybe just display bounding box?

Potentially replace the list of genera entirely, instead displaying 6 or 9 photos and allowing the user to click one to choose it - the genus name of which then fills in the Wordle answer and can give clues to the real one. Might want a mix of words that are close and far from real answer?

Make option to limit to a username instead of a place
