What is Periodic Times Table?
Guess a dated number from 1 to 14,043; distance comes back as atomic-number math. Find a shared mystery number between 1 and 14,043. After a guess, your distance is shown as a math expression made of periodic-table elements, each standing for its atomic number. A distance within 118 can be one element. Other distances use a product of two atomic numbers, and sometimes a third element added or subtracted with multiplication first. Login is optional and only if you want stats saved. It belongs to the wider family of DLE games: compact browser puzzles that give players a repeatable challenge and a reason to return the next day.
