Chemspell Challenge Crossword Puzzle

Home» Crosswords» General
This crossword puzzle was written to fulfill Contract #298: Create a symmetric "Chemspell" crossword in which every answer can be spelt out using only the one or two-letter formulas from the first 120 elements of the modern Periodic Table. Each clue should contain a regular synonym or definition, plus the elements that spell the answer. At least half the answers must have more than three letters. No two-letter words or IATA codes, please. (as proposed by Psnz) Unless otherwise stated, all answers are spelled in US English. (The elements are identified by atomic number.)
