About this puzzle and its game number
TechRadar’s date-specific answer article labels the Thursday, June 26, 2025 puzzle as #746 and gives the four groups above. One archive search result assigns #785 to that date, but the detailed date-specific article and other June 26 results support #746; the NYT game endpoint was not accessible for direct confirmation. The game number is therefore attributed to the secondary source rather than presented as officially verified.
