LexSweep #25 from Tuesday, June 16, 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.

Mid-month LexSweep puzzles sit in the steady-rotation middle of the calendar. The difficulty calibration does not adjust for calendar position; puzzle #25 follows the day-of-week band per the published methodology rather than shifting for time-of-month.
