For those of you who love crossword puzzles, I have terrific news for you!
I recently got a new iPad so I decided to take Apple News Plus for a spin. I have the beta of iOS 17 installed and I remembered that Apple News Plus was to have crossword puzzles in iOS 17. I figured why not, let’s take this puppy for a spin. To my surprise, I found the puzzles fully accessible! Yeah, we finally have crossword puzzles we can now solve!
I would suggest for those of you who have Apple News Plus to give this a try! I was able to solve a mini crossword without checking for hints.
Happy solving!

Apple news mini crossword not working for me
Using voiceover on my iPhone, Apple news, mini crossword is able to read the clue and announces the number of spaces but after I input some letters and eventually want to change them, it's a mess. There's no way to know what you're deleting and what's staying on the screen. Does anyone know if there are specific settings that make it work?
I realize it works in the sense that You can input letters because the keyboard is down at the bottom and is associated with the current clue but if you make a mistake or need to change anything good luck and when if you do try to change something inevitably it's changing the wrong word, or deleting some letters from seemingly random words…
Haven't figured this out…
Haven't figured this out either. I've yet to solve a puzzle without having to reveal it first.
It was working in iOS 17
It broke in iOS 17.1 and has yet to be fixed. I have made numerous reports to no avail. I have stopped my subscription to Apple News Plus. I doubt Apple will fix this and I have given up on it.
