Why the date and puzzle number do not match
The supplied headline pairs November 9 with #413, but the available answer reports identify the November 9, 2025 board as #412. Parade’s November 9 guide lists #412, while its November 10 guide identifies that day’s puzzle as #413. Parade’s November 9 answers and November 10 answers give the date-number mapping.
