Do you have a link for the accessible crossword puzzles?  I can't seem to find 
it.

Thanks,
Pam

Music Song Lyrics and the new News Plus Crossword Puzzle Games

Hi Mark,

I can answer your second question.

VoiceOver works really well with the crossword puzzles.  At least in 17.1, they 
worked really good.  I have filed a bug report with iOS 17.2 already so 
hopefully it will get fixed.

I recommend choosing list view.  This way you can get at the clues easier than 
you can in grid view.  VoiceOver will let you go from one space to another by 
swiping to the right.  For example, if you have a clue that has four letters, 
you will actually see five spaces instead of four.  The first one lets you 
solve the word by typing it in.  If you need to correct a letter, You can swipe 
to that letter you want to correct and double tap on it and replace it with the 
letter you meant to type in.

You have crossword mini and a full crossword.  The New York Times is cheaper 
than Apple News Plus, but last I checked, it was not accessible.

Hope this helps.
