Nonogram
Wednesday and Thursday puzzles sit in the middle of the Nonogram difficulty band. Puzzle #16 (Thursday, June 11, 2026) is calibrated to challenge a regular player without producing the frustration that the harder weekend puzzles are designed to deliver. Mid-week is a good place to start the Nonogram archive for players who already know the mechanic but want a longer puzzle than the Monday or Tuesday calibration provides.
Mid-June sits in the steady-rotation middle of the calendar month. The Nonogram difficulty calibration does not adjust for calendar position; puzzle #16 runs the same calibration the day-of-week band specifies, regardless of where in the month it falls. The mid-month archive is the most representative slice of typical Nonogram difficulty over time.
