Daily Puzzle Difficulty Schedule

March 8, 2026

We've implemented a structured difficulty schedule for daily puzzles. Going forward, puzzle difficulty follows a weekly pattern:

• 🟢 Monday & Tuesday — Easy
• 🟡 Wednesday & Thursday — Medium
• 🔴 Friday & Saturday — Difficult
• 🟣 Sunday — Special Blend

What's Special Blend? These puzzles contain a balanced mix of easy, medium, and difficult words in a single grid — designed to test your range.

Why this change? Previously, daily difficulty was less predictable. This schedule gives players a consistent ramp through the week and makes it easier to compare scores with others facing the same challenge level.

Difficulty is determined by word frequency data, so each tier reflects how common or obscure the words in the puzzle are.
