NumGrid
Friday NumGrid puzzles run at the harder end of the weekly difficulty curve. Puzzle #35 from Friday, June 26, 2026 reflects that calibration — 5-digit targets with more challenging digit patterns, including frequent repeated digits and patterns that minimize the per-guess information gain from common openings.
Late-month NumGrid puzzles close out the calendar month. Puzzle #35 is part of the closing run for the month; players tracking monthly streaks invest extra attention in the last week to lock in full-month records.
