How Bracket City works

Every clue sits inside square brackets, and clues can sit inside other clues. You can only answer a bracket once everything inside it is solved. Type the right answer and it replaces the bracket, which often turns the surrounding text into a brand-new clue. Keep going until the whole sentence, often an "on this day" fact, reads cleanly.

The game rewards solving without help: peeking at the first letter or revealing an answer costs you points, and your final rank reflects how much assistance you used.

Strategies

  • Scan for the easiest inner clue. You don't have to go left to right. Any innermost bracket is fair game.
  • Read the outer clue early. Even unfinished, it can tell you what kind of answer the inner clue needs (a number, a name, a place).
  • Expect wordplay. Clues often combine a fill-in-the-blank with a little trivia or a pun.
  • Use our interactive copy. On this page, click any highlighted bracket to solve just that clue, or reveal single answers from the clue list.
