It sounds like there might be a glitch in how the form validation or timer script is loading—possibly due to a conflict with other elements or delayed script execution. You might want to check for any JavaScript errors in the console or try disabling plugins one by one if you’re using a CMS.
Also, if you enjoy testing and building interactive tools like quizzes, you might find inspiration from the Dr Driving game, which balances functionality and user experience really well.
Hope your issue gets resolved soon!
