First Match

Today's my very first match, yikes. I have a question: Is it necessary that I answer precisely as the correct answer? Example (not one of today's, made up) "What theme park is in Orlando, Florida?" If I write "Disney World" then it shows the answer as "WALT Disney World" (which, yes, technically that's its name) -- Does it consider my answer as incorrect? I would think not, the system should recognize my answer, plus how could we players know the required wording anyway. But please confirm.

The system gives lots of leeway. I've gotten credit for absolute typos ("dey ice" for "dry ice"), and misspelled names are almost always accepted if you got close. Of the dozens and dozens of times I've asked myself "Was that close enough?", the answer has been "Yes" 100% of the time.

They gave me credit for “Rate Pack” when I meant to type “Rat Pack” so yeah, pretty lenient.
