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 #40 from Sunday, July 5, 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.
Early-July puzzles open the calendar month — useful entry points for new players who want a clean starting puzzle number to anchor a daily streak from. The Nonogram archive numbering is continuous, so puzzle #40 fits in the wider sequence but the first few days of a new month make natural restart points after a missed streak.
