Nonogram
Early in the week, Nonogram puzzles run at the easier end of the difficulty curve. Puzzle #42 (published Tuesday, July 7, 2026) reflects that calibration: solvable by an average player at the typical Monday or Tuesday pace, with no unusual mechanic or vocabulary required. Players using the archive as practice can use early-week puzzles to drill the core mechanic before tackling the harder late-week material.
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 #42 fits in the wider sequence but the first few days of a new month make natural restart points after a missed streak.
