This is puzzle #139 of the daily run, first published on Friday, June 19, 2026. The board holds sixteen words and four hidden categories of four, and it is a middle-of-the-run board: two categories that come quickly and two that share enough words to punish a rushed guess. Expect to hold a group in reserve until a later one confirms it.

You get four mistakes and up to two hints. Nothing is timed against you here - archive puzzles play exactly like the live one, and your result is saved in this browser so you can come back to a board you left half solved.

Juneteenth is observed each year on June 19 in the United States.
