What is Elementle?
Elementle is a chemistry-themed guessing game where players must identify a chemical element from the periodic table using clues about its atomic number, group, period, and other properties. It's perfect for chemistry students and science enthusiasts.
Each day features a new element to guess.
Elementle Game Rules
