Typeshift
Wednesday and Thursday puzzles sit in the middle of the Typeshift difficulty band. Puzzle #79 (Thursday, August 13, 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 Typeshift archive for players who already know the mechanic but want a longer puzzle than the Monday or Tuesday calibration provides.
Mid-August sits in the steady-rotation middle of the calendar month. The Typeshift difficulty calibration does not adjust for calendar position; puzzle #79 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 Typeshift difficulty over time.
