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. 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). 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 8 to 14 letter words. Other 'Medium' and 'Easy' volumes consist of shorter 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 at the end of this paragraph. Note that this hard volume consists of chemical words with 7 to 8 symbols, which are longer than the examples shown here. We recommend starting with our easy or medium puzzles before tackling these hard puzzles (available in separate volumes). ANSWERS: (1) GeNiUS (2) PICNIC (3) CrYPTiC (4) SUCCEsS.

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.

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 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 E G S A F N D O B O L K A T E S N O C T U T A Y B T M A P R E V I A L C A R D U ANSWERS: cape, fangs, blood, stake, count, batty, vampire, Dracula
