Nonogram
Saturday and Sunday Nonogram puzzles sit at the top of the weekly difficulty curve — longer solves, more unusual vocabulary or patterns, and a higher rate of player solve-rate drops than any other day of the week. Puzzle #5 from Sunday, May 31, 2026 reflects that calibration. The weekend puzzles are the ones that produce the most interesting share-string variation across the community and the highest concentration of "how did you do" conversations.
Late-May puzzles close the calendar month, with puzzle #5 part of that closing run. The Nonogram calibration does not shift specifically for end-of-month — the puzzle difficulty follows the day-of-week band per the published methodology — but players who track monthly solve streaks often pay extra attention to the closing days to lock in a full-month run.
