Dramtis personae:

Browser-Firefox 152.0.6, 64 bit on Windows 11 Pro, fully patched,
Javascript on and cookies set at "Block cross site cookies" (which was
just changed from "Block cross site tracking cookies" in previous
versions), tracking protection and Resist Fingerprinting turned on,
Privacy Badger the only installed extension active.

Website-fun.chicagotribune.com. Normally I go to the bottom right and
click "Show purposes" followed by "Reject all" on the privacy popup down there. Just for the record I've tried clicking "Accept all" without effect.

Game-Jumble Daily in Color.

Act 1, Scene 1:

Up until maybe the next-to-last FF version update, choosing the game and clicking "Play" brought up a blue screen behind which the game loaded
and brought up a screen with instructions and a start button. That
still comes up but you can see behind it that the game hasn't loaded and
the start button is non-functional.

I've run the gamut of fixes-disabled Privacy Badger and tracking
protection, allowing all cookies and creating a new profile. There's a
less elaborate version of Jumble Daily on the site that does still work
with my settings.

Any other Jumble addicts out there running into this? If so is it a FF-specific issue or are any of you who nibble the forbidden fruit of
other browsers seeing the same thing? If it's just that the game itself
is down now I can live without it until it's fixed. Only want to make
sure there isn't a Firefox tweak I've missed or a bug that needs to be reported. As always, thanks in advance.

Just tried it, in a private-browsing window so I could click rCLAcceptrCY
for all their cookies. Got as far as the instructions screen and the
rCLPlay GamerCY button OK.

Exactly. Did you get past the "Play Game" button, though?

Is it a FF-specific issue or are any of you who "nibble the forbidden fruit of
other browsers" seeing the same thing?

Browser-Firefox 152.0.6, 64 bit on Windows 11 Home
Did you try one yourself?
As indicated above, I run Home and the game doesn't load/allow start.
Disabling both AdBlock Plus and Privacy Badger brings up that coloured
screen behind, though it's still unreponsive to play.
MS Edge and CCleaner Browser both reach the stage you describe and
then stall too.
