Abstract
In a 3 x 3-letter matrix puzzle, each letter must be used as given by the clues associated with the number or sequence of numbers indicated in the squares. The symbols of elements are used to get the solution. When the puzzle is complete, the nine squares will contain the overlapping symbols of 35 elements. In the correct solution of the puzzle each square will contain one and only one letter. There is only one "correct" solution.
