I got a gateway time out error

On my laptop, I had a tab open for DU, another tab for Wordle. When I solved the puzzle, I switched to the open DU tab, using my laptop. I got the error message. I tried to access DU with my phone, got the same error. I waited a few minutes and got back on ok. My attempt and success was about 10 minutes. About 8:23-8:33 EST.

Just an fyi.

Happy Saturday.

About the same time, too! Maybe 8:15-8:20.
