If there is interest, I may do a harder, non-cheat version, removing the symbols of elements whose names appear in the clues...

I should also say that there are several systems (both official and informal) for naming these groups.

There are several more games on the periodic table on Purpose Games. Just do a site search for "periodic" or "period"

Oh, I forgot to tell you that the image used here has been released into the public domain by its author.
