Maybe specify that N'Djamena doesn't count since some people might count it as two words?

In the quiz title, is it meant to be "Word Capitals" or was it misspelled and is supposed to be "World Capitals"?

Can you remove Nur-Sultan or gray it out since it's Astana now? Can you also put Luxembourg and Djibouti in but grayed out as they're also Called Luxembourg City and Djibouti City, as well as Naypyidaw since it's also called Nay Pyi Taw?
