Enter an answer in the box below
Correctly named answers will show up below
Answers do not have to be guessed in order
Some wrong answers will appear in red
DIRECTIONS: Type one of the codes in the left column to guess that letter (eg to guess Q for the 6 letter element, type Q6). If the letter appears in the element's name, you will see where it appears. If it doesn't, it's counted as wrong. When you know the element, type it and you will get the remaining letters!

	This isn't really a flaw but I think you might want to know: When you type in N7, it shows the E in Bromine along with the N, as opposed to just that letter like all the other correct hints. Not a big deal, but for the sake of uniformity I thought you might appreciate the heads up. Loved the quiz, though :)

	@Bio Oops, yeah that was a typoe but it is all fixed nowe.

	I had to resort to guessing the "Wheel of Fortune" strategy of guessing "R" "S" "T" "L" "N" "E", before any other letters for each element.

	Akatsiya:	Jul 25th, 2011 at 15:55 GMT		8 points
	You should make all other elements of that length cause the entire column to be wrong. For example, if I were to guess "iodine" without any letters, that would make the entire first column red, because it's a 6-letter element, but not the correct one. That would prevent just guessing elements, and it would make people be more sure before "solving the puzzle" a la Wheel of Fortune.

	Very nice quiz. The time limit was spot on and I liked that you chose elements that didn't end in "ium".

	trick39berry:	Jul 25th, 2011 at 19:24 GMT		2 points
	Very fun quiz and a nice challenge! For me personally, the time limit seemed a tad bit short (just a tad). If I made this quiz, I probably would up the time by one minute. I am not sure what other people thought of the time. I really enjoyed it!

	@Saints09: I’m pretty sure the letter frequencies among the elements are different from in ordinary English. “I”, “U” and “M” for sure are much better bets than in normal hangman :-)

	I'm loving this quiz! Make as many periodic table quizzes as you like, I'll keep taking them!

	jdaster64:	Aug 25th, 2011 at 01:06 GMT		2 points
	@Pit_trout Yeah; glad that there was only one "-um" on the quiz, else it would have been way too easy.

	Please, sir, may we have some more? NIce quiz

	I would like to see the time increased by one minute. After all, some people are slow thinkers, and the point is how many incorrect guesses you make, not how fast you make correct guesses. I had three answers and figured out platinum a few seconds after time.

	BT2039:	Dec 10th, 2011 at 01:34 GMT		1 point
	@Saints, that's probably not the best strategy for elements, M is more common than a few of those letters. Rarely will you find an S
