DNA is kinda based



I saw this comic a few months ago, and naturally I had to write my own DNA-Palooza at some point! Don't worry, though, no actual codons are involved, and there are other letters in the puzzle than A, T, C, and G. (There are only so many CATs and TAGs and TACTs you can use.)


In other news, I started constructing puzzles for my university newspaper this fall! I can't link to online versions because there are no online versions, but I usually take a picture of the print version and post it on Twitter/X and Bluesky. If you can solve with online images, give them a try!

About  
 

I'm Elise Corbin, and I like science and crossword puzzles.

Before starting this blog, I've had a few puzzles published with STEM-related themes, including a Higgs boson-themed puzzle at the Inkubator, FiveThirtyEight's only crossword to date, and another physics-themed puzzle at the New York Times.

Cruciverbology is a blog for my science puzzles that haven't been published (and for shamelessly plugging my science puzzles that have).
