Good luck & thanks for playing!

Huh! Thanks for letting me know! I thought you could do it on an Android phone (that's what I use). I'll see if I can take a look at it.
One suggeestion right off: try changing the orientation on the phone, holding it landscape rather than portrait. Oh, or try setting the browser to Desktop mode!
Under 24 hours left to get your Oscar predictions in for this year's #BOPMadness!
