Today's puzzle by the numbers
Difficulty, rank thresholds, pangram etymology and what makes today unusual.
Difficulty
4/ 10
This is a moderately easy puzzle that should reward patient solvers. At 47 words it runs slightly above the 44-word archive average, and the letter mix is unusually generous with familiar, everyday vocabulary. The main challenge is the single pangram, which requires a conceptual leap into abstract number territory, and a handful of less common but gettable words hiding in plain sight. Solvers comfortable with repeated letters and compound-style constructions will find the board opens up quickly.

About the pangram
nonbelief16 pts
A modern English compound of the prefix 'non-' (from Latin 'non', meaning 'not') and 'belief' (from Old English 'gelēafa', trust or faith); the word formalizes the absence of belief as a distinct philosophical or religious position rather than mere doubt.
