Chemical word scrambles are an exciting new form of word puzzles.
You don't need to know any chemistry These chemical word scrambles
will appeal to all word puzzle lovers, whether or not they also
enjoy science. Each word is composed of symbols from the periodic
table, instead of letters; but you don't need to be familiar with
the periodic table to solve the word scrambles. Here is an example:
The words BRaIn PoWEr are composed of the following symbols for
chemical elements: B for boron, Ra for radium, In for indium, Po
for polonium, W for tungsten, and Er for erbium. In chemical word
scrambles, the words have been scrambled by rearranging the symbols
- not the letters. Symbols that have two letters - like He for
helium and Nd for neodymium - can't be split or have their letters
reordered. This creates a significant distinction between ordinary
word scrambles and chemical word scrambles. For example, the
symbols Er, V, S, and Es may be combined to form the word SErVEs,
but not the word SEVErs because symbols would have to be split to
form SEVErs. One neat difference between ordinary word scrambles
and chemical word scrambles is that chemical word scrambles allow
us to make use of a vocabulary of longer words without effectively
increasing the difficulty of the puzzle. For example, the word
VErBAl is a 6-letter word, but only a 4-symbol word. When trying to
rearrange the symbols Al, Er, B, and V to form the word VErBAl,
there are fewer permutations to consider compared to rearranging
the 6 letters A, l, e, r, b, and v to form the word verbal. We saw
this as an excellent opportunity to make word scramble puzzles that
involve a vocabulary of longer words. The level of difficulty of
this Chemical Word Scrambles puzzle book is MEDIUM. This book
involves words that mostly have 5 to 6 symbols, and therefore 5 to
12 letters; all of the challenge words of this MEDIUM book have 6
symbols. (There is also an EASY book with 4 to 5 symbol words, and
a HARD book with 7 to 9 symbols. Puzzlers who can solve harder word
scrambles may want to begin with the EASY volume to get the hang of
unscrambling words in terms of chemical symbols before moving onto
MEDIUM or HARD.) Each puzzle features a challenge word made by
rearranging the first symbol of each word. A unique feature of this
book is that there is a Hints section at the back separate from the
Answers section, for puzzlers who may be stuck and want to check
just the first letter of the solution.
