I recently updated my iPad M4 Pro to IOS 26.01. Now, I can’t play the crossword puzzles in the news app.
In the past, I would go into the puzzle, either mini or regular, and switch it to list view. I could then read the clue on the first blank letter for each word, Then, I could arrow across to each blank space or letter if I had filled that spot. I can still do this on my phone which is on the previous IOS. When I try to do it on IOS 26, It puts me into an edit field. I can move back into the top menu, but I can’t move through the puzzle or read any of the clues.

Same in ios 26
This is also a bug in ios and I've reported it to Apple. Hopefully fixed soon, as I miss the crosswords.
I had no idea we had crosswords!!!
This is like a kid finding out about dinosaurs and then realising they missed them by 66 million years.
I hope they get this bug fixed. I'd love to smash some crosswords. Thanks for the heads up it exists.
Not available in the UK
Just for fellow non- north Americans, this isn't available in anywhere but the USA.
So, I'm now the child who learned about dinosaurs, found out I missed them by sixty five million years... And that they turned out to be dragons, and made up.
