+# Backlog Issue: Improve Log Message String Formatting for Clarity
+
+## Description
+The log message for whack success in `whack-a-mole/backend/app.py` (lines 518-519) uses string continuation where the space separator appears at the beginning of the second string, making it less obvious that proper spacing exists.
+
+## Current Code
+```python
+print(
+    f"[Thread-{thread_name}] Whack success!"
+    f" Hole {hole}, Time: {result['reaction_time']:.3f}s"
+)
+```
+
+## Suggested Improvement
+Move the space to the end of the first string for better clarity:
+```python
+print(
+    f"[Thread-{thread_name}] Whack success! "
+    f"Hole {hole}, Time: {result['reaction_time']:.3f}s"
+)
+```
