Elementary is an element-matching puzzle in Daily Orbs: your objective is to match each element to its distinction. This walkthrough covers the six pairings documented in the community record, including the chlorine answer that corrects an earlier sulfur guess.

How to Complete

Read each distinction and match it with the corresponding element. Use the pairings below as your answer reference; the numbered order is a convenient way to work through them, not a required sequence.

The available evidence identifies the answers but does not describe the puzzle’s controls or submission process. Follow the matching controls shown in your game rather than assuming a particular clicking or dragging method.

Step-by-Step Walkthrough

1. Match nitrogen to 78% of air

Choose nitrogen for the distinction stating that the element constitutes 78% of air. This is the explicit example provided in the record, so it is a useful pairing to establish first.

Look for the percentage and the reference to air together. They identify nitrogen’s distinction in this puzzle.

2. Match iodine to table salt and goiter prevention

Choose iodine for the distinction about an element added to table salt to prevent goiters.

The complete clue matters: it connects table salt with goiter prevention. Match that description to iodine rather than treating the mention of salt alone as the answer.

3. Match carbon to every organic compound

Choose carbon for the distinction found in every organic compound.

The key phrase is “every organic compound.” Keep this pairing separate from the clues about air, table salt, volcanic crystals, poison gas, and matchbox striking strips.

4. Match sulfur to yellow crystals in volcanic areas

Choose sulfur for the distinction describing yellow crystals in volcanic areas.

Use both parts of the description—the yellow crystals and the volcanic setting—to recognize this pairing. Sulfur also appears in the recorded solving process as an earlier guess for the poison-gas clue, but that guess is corrected to chlorine. Do not carry the earlier sulfur guess into your final matches.

5. Match chlorine to the World War I poison-gas clue

Choose chlorine for the distinction referring to World War I poison gas.

This is the important correction in the community record: the player initially guesses sulfur, then identifies chlorine instead. For your answer reference, keep the two distinctions separate:

• Sulfur: yellow crystals in volcanic areas.
• Chlorine: the World War I poison-gas clue.

The record presents chlorine as the player’s corrected identification; it does not provide a separate description of an in-game confirmation screen.

6. Match phosphorus to matchbox striking strips

Choose phosphorus for the distinction about the element on matchbox striking strips.

Pay attention to the specific object named in the clue: the striking strip. The community record identifies phosphorus for that description.

Tips and Evidence Limits

Prioritize the corrected answer over the initial guess. The sulfur/chlorine distinction is the only recorded correction in these pairings. If you are checking your work, review those two matches together.

Use this as a pairing guide, not a control guide. The supplied record supports the six answers above, but it does not establish a required solving order, an attempt limit, scoring rules, or rewards.

The supplementary video excerpt briefly looks back on Elementary before moving into a different, figure-of-speech matching challenge. Its discussion of definitions appearing after wrong answers belongs to that later challenge and does not establish that Elementary offers the same help. [src-0b413c82f8]
