Thanks C & EN news for posting the results from our most recent Wordle!!

The first USA Science & Engineering festival is under way. It opened last night with a music extravaganza called the "Powers of Ten: A Journey in Song from Quark to Cosmos." One of the activities is a nationwide wordle where you can enter your idea for the greatest discoveries and advancements science and engineering will bring us in the 21st century. Answers will be collected through Oct. 24, when the festival concludes with a big expo on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. Stay tuned to Newscripts for festival updates over the next two weeks.
