LexSweep
Puzzle #17 (Monday, June 8, 2026) sits at the easier end of the LexSweep weekly difficulty curve — Monday and Tuesday puzzles are calibrated to be solvable with a single confident opening and 2-3 follow-up rows. The vowel pattern usually telegraphs itself in the first two guesses, and the diagonal letter falls within a handful of common 5-letter words. If you plays an early-week LexSweep and want a harder version of the same mechanic, jump to a Friday or Saturday archive entry.
Mid-month LexSweep puzzles sit in the steady-rotation middle of the calendar. The difficulty calibration does not adjust for calendar position; puzzle #17 follows the day-of-week band per the published methodology rather than shifting for time-of-month.
