Hints for LexSweep #12
Hint 1 — Category
5x5 symmetric word square — every row is a valid 5-letter word, and the grid reads the same down its columns as it does across its rows. The top row begins with the letter "L".
Hint 2 — Structure (click to reveal)
The middle (3rd) row contains 3 vowels. Because the grid is symmetric, the middle column has the same 3 vowels in the same positions — solving one solves the other.
Hint 3 — Starting clue (click to reveal)
The first letters of the five rows, top to bottom, spell "LEAST". Symmetry means those same five letters are also the first letters of the five columns, left to right.

The grid is a symmetric word square, so the five rows above are also the five columns, in the same order. Read down column 1 and you get the same letters as row 1 ("LEAST"); column 2 matches row 2 ("EAGER"), and so on through column 5 / row 5 ("TRIPE").
Mid-week puzzles (Wednesday, June 3, 2026, puzzle #12) are the LexSweep canonical difficulty. The calibration sits between the easier early-week material and the harder weekend tier — long enough to feel substantive, short enough to fit in a normal coffee-break window.
Early-month LexSweep entries open the calendar month and are useful starting points for new players building a streak from a clean date. Puzzle #12 fits in the continuous archive numbering, but the first week of a month makes a natural anchor for streak-tracking.
