Daily Challenge #135 hints — June 11, 2026

These are the five letter pairs from the Lexicon daily word challenge on June 11, 2026, in the order they were played, with example answers for each.

Worth saying up front: Lexicon has no single hidden answer. Each round gives you a starting letter and an ending letter, and any real word of four or more letters that connects them wins. Most pairs have hundreds of valid solutions. So these are hints in the literal sense — a nudge toward the shape of a word, not a spoiler.

Today's challenge is never listed here. Only past dates get a hints page, so nothing on this site spoils the live puzzle.
