DESCRIPTION: These word scramble puzzles consist of pairs of
English and French words where the letters have been scrambled. In
each pair, the first word is a common English word and the second
word is its French equivalent. Solve each puzzle by rearranging the
letters to form the matching English and French words. For example,
consider the following pair of English-French word scrambles: L O H
E L / J U N O B O R. Rearranging the letters LOHEL, we can form the
word HELLO; and unscrambling the letters JUNOBOR, we can form
BONJOUR. LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY: You need to have familiarity with
vocabulary words from French 1 in order to be able to unscramble
the French words. Once you have unscrambled both words in a puzzle,
seeing the words that go together - one English, one French - will
help to reinforce your French-English vocabulary. ORGANIZATION: All
of the answers in each puzzle are related in some way. For example,
they might all be days of the week, or they might be feelings.
Knowing that the words are related may help you unscramble any
words that you don't see right away. HINTS/ANSWERS: There are
separate sections of hints and answers at the back of the book. The
hints section provides just the first letter of each word. This can
be useful if you just need a little help. Complete answers are
provided in the answers section. You might want to place a folded
sheet of paper here so that you can check the current puzzle's
answers without spoiling other puzzles.
These word scramble puzzles consist of spooky words or phrases
where the letters have been scrambled. Many of the puzzles relate
to Halloween in some way. Solve each puzzle by rearranging the
letters to form the word or phrase. For example, rearranging the
letters M O B I Z E, we can form the word Z O M B I E. Each puzzle
consists of a group of related words or phrases, such as words that
relate to ghosts or different kinds of Halloween costumes. Knowing
that the words in each puzzle are related may help you unscramble
any words or phrases that you don't see right away. A hints section
at the back of the book provides the first letter of each answer,
which is handy if you just need a little help; a separate section
provides the answers so that you can check your solutions.EXAMPLES:
P A C EG S A F ND O B O LK A T E SN O C T UT A Y B TM A P R E V IA
L C A R D UANSWERS: cape, fangs, blood, stake, count, batty,
vampire, Dracula
These word scramble puzzles consist of pairs of song titles and
corresponding singers or bands where the letters have been
scrambled. Solve each puzzle by rearranging the letters to form the
matching song and artist. For example, consider the following
puzzle: DBA CARMENO (song), DALY AGGA (artist). Rearranging the
letters DBA CARMENO, we can form the song BAD ROMANCE, and
rearranging the letters DALY AGGA, we can form the corresponding
singer, LADY GAGA. A hints section at the back of the book provides
the first letter of each answer, which is handy if you just need a
little help; a separate section provides the answers so that you
can check your solutions.
VErBAl ReAcTiONS are a new form of word scrambles with a chemical
flavor. You don't need to know any science to be able to solve
VErBAl ReAcTiONS puzzles, but the puzzles bear a resemblance to
chemical reactions.EXAMPLE: Es + 2 S + P + Si + 2 O + N __ __ __ __
__ __ __ __ .This VErBAl ReAcTiON is a word scramble consisting of
one Es, two S's, one P, one Si, two O's, and one N. That is, the
word scramble contains the elements Es, S, S, P, Si, O, O, and N.
Unscramble these elements to form an 8-symbol word (that's why
there are 8 blanks in the puzzle).ANSWER: For this puzzle, the
answer is P O S S Es Si O N (possession).These VErBAl ReAcTiONS
resemble chemical reactions in two ways. First, the scrambled
elements appear added together on the left of the reaction with
coefficients (like the number 2 in the puzzle above) telling you
how many of each element the solution contains, and you fill in the
result of the VErBAl ReAcTiON by rearranging the elements and
writing them on the blanks on the right side of the reaction.
Secondly, all of the solutions are chemical words. A chemical word
is a word that can be made using symbols from the periodic table.
For example, the chemical word POSSEsSiON is made using the symbols
for phosphorus (P), oxygen (O), sulfur (S), Einsteinium (Es),
silicon (Si), and nitrogen (N).You don't need to be familiar with
the periodic table to solve these problems; nor do you need to know
any chemistry. You just need to be able to count and unscramble
elements to make words.This 'Medium' volume consists of words with
6 symbols, which involves familiarity with common 6 to 12 letter
words.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.MORE EXAMPLES: (1) S + Ni + Ge + U __ __ __ __ .(2) 2 C +
N + 2 I + P __ __ __ __ __ __ .(3) Ti + C + Cr + P + Y __ __ __ __

answers below.Note that this medium volume consists of chemical
words with 6 symbols. There are also easy and hard puzzles
(available in separate volumes), which consist of shorter and
longer chemical words.ANSWERS: (1) GeNiUS (2) PICNIC (3) CrYPTiC

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 EASY. This book
involves words that mostly have 4 to 5 symbols, and therefore 4 to
10 letters. Puzzlers who can solve harder word scrambles may want
to begin with this EASY volume to get the hang of unscrambling
words in terms of chemical symbols before moving onto MEDIUM (6
symbols) or HARD (7 to 9 symbols). 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.

VErBAl ReAcTiONS are a new form of word scrambles with a chemical
flavor. You don't need to know any science to be able to solve
VErBAl ReAcTiONS puzzles, but the puzzles bear a resemblance to
chemical reactions.EXAMPLE: Es + 2 S + P + Si + 2 O + N __ __ __ __
__ __ __ __ .This VErBAl ReAcTiON is a word scramble consisting of
one Es, two S's, one P, one Si, two O's, and one N. That is, the
word scramble contains the elements Es, S, S, P, Si, O, O, and N.
Unscramble these elements to form an 8-symbol word (that's why
there are 8 blanks in the puzzle).ANSWER: For this puzzle, the
answer is P O S S Es Si O N (possession).These VErBAl ReAcTiONS
resemble chemical reactions in two ways. First, the scrambled
elements appear added together on the left of the reaction with
coefficients (like the number 2 in the puzzle above) telling you
how many of each element the solution contains, and you fill in the
result of the VErBAl ReAcTiON by rearranging the elements and
writing them on the blanks on the right side of the reaction.
Secondly, all of the solutions are chemical words. A chemical word
is a word that can be made using symbols from the periodic table.
For example, the chemical word POSSEsSiON is made using the symbols
for phosphorus (P), oxygen (O), sulfur (S), Einsteinium (Es),
silicon (Si), and nitrogen (N).You don't need to be familiar with
the periodic table to solve these problems; nor do you need to know
any chemistry. You just need to be able to count and unscramble
elements to make words.This 'Hard' volume consists of words with 7
to 8 symbols, which involves familiarity with common 7 to 16 letter
words.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

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 HARD. This book
involves words that mostly have 6 to 7 symbols, and therefore 6 to
14 letters; all of the challenge words of this HARD book have 8
symbols. (There is also an EASY book with 4 to 5 symbol words, and
a MEDIUM book with 6 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.
These word scrambles have a unique twist: Some of the letters are
paired together. For example, the word 'verbal' could be written by
combining V, Er, B, and Al together in the form V Er B Al . Pairing
some letters in this way, we made word scrambles with 4 to 8
symbols (one symbol being either a single letter or a pair of
letters), which consist of 4 to 16 letters. Many word scramble
books consist mostly of words with 4 to 5 letters, which are often
too easy to solve. However, a word scramble that consists of 4 to 5
symbols rather than letters, makes use of a vocabulary of longer
words, and is therefore somewhat more challenging. For example,
'nature' would ordinarily be a 6-letter word, but N At U Re is a
4-symbol word. The difference is that the A and t (and similarly
the R and e) can be split when writing 'nature' with letters, but
not in the symbolic version, N At U Re . Our goal with this word
scramble book was to create word scrambles that would require more
thought than traditional word scrambles, yet still involve common
words and be reasonable to solve. This book starts out easy to
allow puzzlers to get the hang of it and becomes progressively more
thought-provoking. ** Here are some examples with the unscrambled
answers in parentheses: K In Th (ThInK), Ge Ra N Ar (ArRaNGe), U Mo
Li Ne Si (LiMoUSiNe), U N O Ce N Pr O (PrONOUNCe), K Er Tc U N Ra C
(NUTcRaCKEr). ** We hope that you enjoy solving these puzzles as
much as we enjoyed making them.
