  "abstract": "We study planar first-passage percolation with independent weights whose common distribution is supported on $(0,\\infty)$ and is absolutely continuous with respect to Lebesgue measure. We prove that the passage time from $x$ to $y$ denoted by $T(x,y)$ satisfies $$\\max _{a\\ge 0} \\mathbb P \\big( T(x,y)\\in [a,a+1] \\big) \\le \\frac{C}{\\sqrt{\\log \\|x-y\\|}},$$ answering a question posed by of Ahlberg and de la Riva. This estimate recovers earlier results on the fluctuations of the passage time by Newman and Piza, Pemantle and Peres, and Chatterjee.",
