Solve puzzles in Apple News+ on Apple Vision Pro
Apple News+ subscribers can solve daily crossword and crossword mini puzzles. In visionOS 1.2 or later, subscribers can also solve Quartiles puzzles. Nonsubscribers may be able to play a few puzzles for free.
Note: Puzzles aren’t available in all countries or regions.
View the Puzzles feed
To view the Puzzles feed, do one of the following:
Tap Puzzles in the sidebar.
Tap Today, then tap the Puzzles group.
Follow the feed for a puzzle type
After opening the Puzzles feed, tap Crossword, Mini, or Quartiles.
Tap
A Puzzles category appears in the sidebar with the puzzle types appearing below. To make them favorites, tap Edit, tap 
Choose a puzzle
Apple News+ subscribers can solve crossword, crossword mini puzzles, and Quartiles puzzles. You can choose to solve new puzzles or puzzles from the archive. Crossword puzzles have a difficulty rating—easy, moderate, or challenging.
Go to one of the following areas to find a puzzle:
the Puzzles group in the Today feed or Best of News+ feed
the Puzzles feed in the sidebar
the feed for a puzzle type (crossword, crossword mini, or Quartiles)
Tap a puzzle to open it.
View puzzle stats and streaks
In visionOS 1.2 or later, you can see the Scoreboard in each puzzle feed. You can see your current streak—the number of consecutive days you’ve solved the daily puzzle—and your longest streak. The Scoreboard also provides statistics for each puzzle type, such as the number of puzzles solved.
To view the Scoreboard, choose the feed for a puzzle type, then swipe up.
Conditions that affect stats and streaks include the following:
If you use the Reveal command to show all or a portion of a puzzle, the puzzle won’t count toward your stats, and completing the puzzle won’t start or continue a streak.
Puzzles you complete on a device with visionOS 1.2, iPadOS 17.5, iOS 17.5, or macOS 14.5, or later, count toward your stats—puzzle playing history on older versions doesn’t count.
After you open the News app on a device with visionOS 1.2, iPadOS 17.5, iOS 17.5, or macOS 14.5, or later, daily puzzles you complete on a device with an earlier version of the OS are added to your streak.
For example, if you complete Monday’s crossword on your iPhone with iOS 17.5, Tuesday’s crossword on your iPad with iOS 17.4, and then solve Wednesday’s crossword on your Apple Vision Pro with visionOS 1.2, your streak is extended.
Users in the continental U.S. and Canada must complete a puzzle within 24 hours of its publication for it to count toward a streak. Users in Alaska and Hawaii must complete the day’s puzzle before midnight local time.
Compete with others in Game Center
In visionOS 1.2 or later, you can compete against friends and other puzzle solvers in Game Center.
Go to Settings
Return to the Settings screen, tap News, then turn on Game Center.
Your score for the daily puzzle is submitted to the leaderboard for that puzzle type in Game Center. Your score for crossword and crossword mini puzzles is the time it took you to solve the puzzle. For Quartiles, your score is the number of points you earned.
