How to Play
Our version of this game incorporates scientific jargon and interesting words from the Scientific American archives! A clue to this puzzle’s word appears on the introduction pop-up. Guess the hidden word or phrase in as few attempts as possible. If the phrase has more than one word, switch between words at any time by pressing the tab key or by clicking on a box. Press enter to submit each attempt. You have up to 6 attempts per word. After each attempt, letters will be shown in three colors. Green indicates that a letter is present in the word and is in the right place. Yellow indicates that a letter is present in the word but not in the right place. Gray indicates that a letter is not present in the word.
