How to solve Rule 12 and beyond in The Password Game

Our table lists all possible two-letter symbols from the periodic table of elements. Using any symbol from the table counts as a successful solution. Keep in mind, some of your other rules may break due to your selection, particularly Rule Nine, which says all Roman numerals in your password must multiply to equal 35.

As such, seeing that some symbols contain Roman numerals, I recommend picking a two-letter element with consonants, like AlZnBr, or Tb.

We’ve also included the atomic number for each symbol, which may help you solve Rule 18, which states that the combined atomic number of symbols in your password must equal 200.
