Elemingle

Elemingle turns the periodic table into a card-based deduction game. Each card shows trivia about an element but not its atomic number, and you decide where it sits compared with today's Mystery Element.

How to play

  1. 01

    Read the card

    Each card shows facts about one element, but never its atomic number.

  2. 02

    Swipe right or left

    Swipe right if you think the card's element has a higher atomic number than the Mystery Element, or left if it's lower. The arrow keys work too.

  3. 03

    Narrow the range

    Correct swipes set your upper and lower bounds, shown on the periodic table; elements out of bounds turn grey.

  4. 04

    Swipe up to win

    When you think a card is the Mystery Element, swipe up, or type it into the guess form below the table.

Good to know

  • Right and wrong swipes. Your result counts how many of your swipes were right and how many were wrong.
  • No give-up button. The game only ends without a win after 1,000 guesses, which should be more than enough.
  • Illustrated elements. Every element character was designed and drawn by the artist Jean Estevez, a.k.a. Art Toon.
