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 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.

DESCRIPTION: These word scramble puzzles consist of pairs of English and Spanish words where the letters have been scrambled. In each pair, the first word is a common English word and the second word is its Spanish equivalent. Solve each puzzle by rearranging the letters to form the matching English and Spanish words. For example, consider the following pair of English-Spanish word scrambles: LOHEL/OHAL. Rearranging the letters LOHEL, we can form the English word HELLO; and unscrambling the letters OHAL, we can form the corresponding Spanish word HOLA. LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY: You need to have familiarity with vocabulary words from Spanish 1 in order to be able to unscramble the Spanish words. Once you have unscrambled both words in a puzzle, seeing the words that go together - one English, one Spanish - will help to reinforce your Spanish-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.

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: Here is a sample: 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 'Easy' volume consists of words with 4 to 5 symbols, which involves familiarity with common 4 to 10 letter words. Other 'Medium' and 'Hard' volumes consist of longer 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 __ __ __ __ __ .(4) 2 C + U + 2 S + Es __ __ __ __ __ __ . You can find the answers below. Note that this easy volume consists of chemical words with 4 to 5 symbols. We recommend starting with our easy puzzles before tackling the medium or hard puzzles (available in separate volumes). ANSWERS: (1) GeNiUS (2) PICNIC (3) CrYPTiC (4) SUCCEsS.

You can find the 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 (4) SUCCEsS.
