Puzzle number and date
Two dated answer guides identify the December 12 puzzle as #915, and a third guide lists the same groups: Try Hard Guides, Parade, and The Financial Express. There is a numbering discrepancy: Wordle Today’s archive gives the same date and groups but calls it #962. The number is therefore less consistent across answer archives than the date and solution; the sources available do not independently verify the official NYT puzzle number.
