    That still comes up but you can see behind it that the game hasn't
    loaded and the start button is non-functional.

    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?

    I know now you didn't. Someone posting on another server tried loading
    the game using MS Edge and the CCleaner browser (didn't know they had
    one). Same result. Hopefully Andrews/McMeel and the Tribune know about
    this and are working on a fix. Thanks to you and the other poster for checking.

    Apparently the Tribune blocks everyone outside the US, this may be
    configured a bit too tight for certain (CDN) parts of the site.

    Another server? But to a.c.s.firefox wherever it's carried.
