LexSweep
LexSweep #2 (Sunday, May 24, 2026) is a weekend puzzle, calibrated to the hardest tier in the weekly rotation. Weekend symmetric squares often involve at least one word per row drawn from the long tail of the TWL — technical, archaic, or otherwise uncommon English words. The validator confirms each is solvable through deduction; players who get stuck on a single letter should consult the related-words page for the unfamiliar entry rather than abandoning the puzzle.
Late-month LexSweep entries close the calendar month. Puzzle #2 is part of the closing run; players tracking monthly solve streaks often invest extra attention in the last week of a month to lock in a full-month record.
