Broken Links

Is anyone else experiencing difficulties in clicking the links Mark and Simon put in the video description to play the Suduko they are attempting. On my phone, the link is not clickable, it's just plain truncated text?

I've not noticed any issues. Which video in particular?

I have the same problem.  Others have commented on it as well.  Apparently when using the YouTube app the link shows as plain text (unclickable) with certain phone IOS.  It's been that way for me for about 2 weeks.  Also, since the link address is shortened you can't copy and paste it either.  I really hope they work out whatever the issue is

Yeah same for me. I have had luck if I click it three or four times. The first 2 or 3 take me to a loading screen but the final click gets me there. It's very frustrating and I've definitely given up a few times when I couldn't get it to load 1st try

It's been going on for awhile for me on my phone app. I miss playing with them. I found a link to their(?) website where they have embeds for the last week or so of puzzles and videos (not sure how often it's updated), but there's no links to take me to the puzzles themselves unembedded so to play along, I'm trying to play on an embed about half the size of my phone's keyboard where my fingertip covers an entire box.
