Daily Periodic Table Quiz — Ten Date-Stable Questions
Play one deterministic set of ten element questions per date with a rotating learning range, local history and a specialist streak that stays outside the frozen Today’s 6.
One stable question set for the date
Daily 10 derives its seed from the calendar date. The same date on the same build produces the same ten element identities and the same question directions. Reloading is therefore not a way to reroll an easier set. The independent verifier checks every date in 2026 for determinism, valid element ranges and ten distinct elements inside each Daily session.
The learning range rotates
The Daily does not force all 118 elements every day. Dates rotate among Foundations, Core and Full. Foundations draws from atomic numbers 1–20. Core draws from 1–54. Full can use any of the 118. This creates beginner-friendly days while still introducing complete-table challenges. The rotation is deterministic and visible in the session label, so difficulty is not silently changed after you begin.
Mixed question directions
Daily 10 mixes Symbol → Name, Name → Symbol, Atomic Number and Position prompts. That matters because knowing that Fe means iron does not automatically mean you can produce Fe when shown the word iron, recognize atomic number 26, or locate iron in period 4 group 8. Mixed questions exercise those related but distinct retrieval directions without requiring four separate Daily products.
Position questions use a blank table
When a position question appears, the table labels are hidden and the prompt gives the element to locate. Main-table cells expose their structural coordinates rather than the answer text. The lanthanide and actinide rows are displayed separately. After an answer, the correct cell is revealed so the mistake can become immediate feedback instead of a mysterious wrong mark.
Daily progress can survive a refresh
The active specialist session is saved in the V0.119 browser-local store. If the page is refreshed in the same browser, the Daily can restore the current question index, prior answers, elapsed time and current score. Completing the session removes the temporary autosave and writes a compact Daily history row. No login or remote synchronization is required.
A separate specialist streak
Daily Periodic Table maintains its own local history and streak. It does not change the platform’s main Today’s 6 lineup, Daily Score, six-game completion count or frozen 2026 sequence. This is the same containment rule used by the recent specialists: a new Practice game can offer a meaningful Daily mode without silently rewriting the user’s established main routine.
What is verified
The project’s independent verifier loads the frozen element source and the quiz core without using the browser UI as proof. It checks all 118 records, the 2/8/8/18/18/32/32 period distribution, coordinate uniqueness, Foundations/Core/Full pool sizes, accepted spelling aliases and thousands of deterministic Practice sessions. It then enumerates the full 2026 Daily calendar and checks that every Daily session is valid and reproducible.
What is not claimed
The Daily result is not a chemistry certification, school grade, intelligence score, medical measure, attention assessment or population ranking. A learner may be stronger on familiar elements and weaker on synthetic elements simply because of prior coursework. The useful result is a small repeatable practice record and a list of items worth reviewing on the same device.
Data provenance and update discipline
Names, symbols and atomic numbers are frozen in the project source using the current 118-element IUPAC periodic-table framework reviewed for this release. The app does not scrape another quiz site and does not download its questions from an API. If a future release changes this source, the generator, independent verifier, browser QA, migration checks and cumulative project QA must all be rerun before the new bytes can be sealed.
A practical daily routine
Use Learn Table first when the Daily contains unfamiliar elements. Then play the ten questions without keeping an external answer list open. After the result, open Weak Review if several elements were missed. Because Weak Review is based on your own local misses, a short follow-up can be more useful than immediately replaying a broad random set. Clearing browser storage also clears this local history, so the streak is a convenience rather than an externally backed credential.
