About Bracket City

Bracket City is a daily word puzzle game from The Atlantic where players solve nested clues arranged in brackets. Each puzzle contains clues within clues, creating a hierarchical structure that must be solved from the inside out.

How to Play

Read the puzzle text which contains clues in brackets [like this]

Solve the innermost brackets first, working your way outward

Each bracket contains a clue that leads to a word or phrase

Use the revealed answers to help solve the next level of brackets

Continue until you've solved all nested clues

The final solution reveals the complete answer to the puzzle

Strategy Tips

Start with the innermost brackets and work outward

Use progressive hints if you get stuck on a clue

Pay attention to wordplay, puns, and double meanings

Consider how solved clues might relate to unsolved ones

Think about common phrases, idioms, and cultural references
