NumGrid
Puzzle #39 (Tuesday, June 30, 2026) is an early-week NumGrid — Monday and Tuesday puzzles are calibrated for shorter solve times and smaller-digit-length targets (4-digit instead of 5). The target avoids repeated-digit edge cases that complicate the per-digit feedback rule, and the expected number of guesses for a competent solver falls in the 3-4 range rather than the 4-5 range of harder days.
Late-month NumGrid puzzles close out the calendar month. Puzzle #39 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.
