Easy and fast. Could have done that one in hard mode with no loss of points.
@lproven @andrewducker @markslater @bencurthoys @elaine1helen
Not posting today's Bracket City because it wouldn't load, then I originally got a score of 78 but it showed as April 4th 2025. Then I refreshed the page and it gave me the same puzzle with today's date and of course I got 100.
Not sure if a bug or a stupid April Fool.
@stephenjjohnson @lproven @markslater @bencurthoys @elaine1helen
Doesn't load for me at all, despite repeated refreshes
