Beyond books, the U.S. Library of Congress also stores stranger records—including data via video game, scroll and this ancient storage medium. (Read the article here.)
How to Play
The objective of the game is to find words that can be made with the given letters such that all the words include the letter in the center. You can enter letters by clicking on them or typing them in. Press Enter to submit a word. Letters can be used multiple times in a single word, and words must contain three letters or more for this size layout. Select the Play Together icon in the navigation bar to invite a friend to work together on this puzzle. One word incorporating all the letters is always drawn from a recent Scientific American article, with a hint and link available above.
The dictionary we use for this game misses a lot of science words, such as apatite and coati. Let us know at games@sciam.com what extra science terms you found, and we might give you a shout out in our daily newsletter!
