It may take reading the instructions more carefully. It asks for the 
word in the logo, *including* the exclamation mark.

Having read your comment, when I first tried it, I read it the same 
way as you! Then I suspected that I needed to log in. After I did, I 
found that it's still running a 'bot test for logged-in users, with 
an old account like mine. I read it more carefully.

Oh. "Including." So the word that must be typed is

Electrorama!

with the exclamation point.

Unless it's presenting a different test, no, you may have remembered 
incorrectly. And followed what you remembered instead of what it was 
actually saying. The mind does that. It may trust what it remembers 
more than what it sees. Happens all the time.
