The best daily games and puzzles are in
0:02
the Apple News app. You can find it in
0:04
the search tab by tapping puzzles. You
0:07
have a mini crossword, a crossword,
0:10
Quartiles, emoji game, and Sudoku you
0:13
can play every day. The crossword looks
0:16
just like a regular crossword. You can
0:18
type in your clues here on the board.
0:21
You can tap the clue to switch between
0:23
the horizontal and vertical. You can
0:26
automatically check if you've made any
0:29
mistakes, as you can see I have. The
0:32
mini crossword is just like the same
0:34
except only on a 5 by 5 grid, so you can
0:36
play it in just a few minutes.
0:39
Quartiles is a game where you have to
0:40
make as many words as you can using
0:43
these letter fragments. Some of them
0:46
might only be a single tile long. You
0:48
can piece together words out of two,
0:50
three, or even four tiles in a row.
0:53
On every board, there are five words you
0:56
can make that are each four tiles long.
0:59
Those are your Quartiles, and you're
1:01
trying to get to 100 points. Shuffle the
1:04
tiles if you get stuck. This is another
1:07
one of my favorites. There's also a
1:09
daily Sudoku game in three different
1:12
levels, an easy, a moderate, and a
1:14
challenging. Sudoku is a game where
1:16
every 3 by 3 section, every row, and
1:20
every column has to have every number 1
1:23
through 9 exactly once. So, you can tap
1:27
on a number to see all of the similar
1:29
numbers on a board, tap on an empty
1:31
space to type in a number. You have an
1:33
eraser, and you can take notes by
1:36
hitting this button above the keyboard.
1:38
The other game is the emoji game. How
1:40
this works is you have three clues with
1:43
six blank spots, and you also have six
1:47
groups of emoji. Each group of emoji
1:50
represents a word that you need to try
1:52
and use to fill in the blank. So, this
1:55
is a gift emoji, which you can also call
2:00
it goes in here to spell represent.
2:04
And this looks like it's supposed to be
2:07
an ATV because it's a little car emoji
2:10
and an outdoors emoji. So, there we go,
2:15
I find the emoji game really annoying,
2:17
but I don't know, you might enjoy it.
2:19
The ones I play every day are the
2:21
crossword, mini crossword, and
2:22
Quartiles. Those are all of the word
2:25
games in Apple News. I'm Digger from
2:27
Jones with Cult of Mac.
