LexSweep
LexSweep #4 from Tuesday, May 26, 2026 runs at the early-week difficulty band. Early-week LexSweep puzzles use higher-frequency words and more guessable vowel patterns than the weekend ceiling produces. The format is the same — symmetric 5x5 square, same dictionary, same single-deductive-path validator — but the calibration favors a faster solve.
Late-month LexSweep entries close the calendar month. Puzzle #4 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.
