https://www.theatlantic.com/press-releases/archive/2025/04/i...
> Meet your next word-game obsession: Bracket City. Today we’re announcing that this fast-growing word puzzle - created earlier this year by an independent game designer - has a new home at The Atlantic. // In Bracket City, players solve nested layers of clues to uncover a fact about the given day in history. Each solved bracket reveals a part of the next, creating a chain reaction that eventually resolves the whole puzzle into a single sentence. Players earn city-themed ranks for success, such as “Commuter,” “Mayor,” or the coveted “Kingmaker” for a perfect puzzle. // Bracket City was created by Ben Gross and has rapidly amassed an audience of loyal players. Ben will continue to create daily puzzles with Caleb Madison, the director of games at The Atlantic.
