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

@andrewducker @stephenjjohnson @lproven @bencurthoys @elaine1helen

What the heck?

Multiple two word answers and no way to type in a space?!?

@andrewducker @stephenjjohnson @lproven @bencurthoys @elaine1helen

I guess itโ€™s OK on a PC - but unplayable on a phone.

@markslater @stephenjjohnson @lproven @bencurthoys @elaine1helen

Annoying on a PC too!
