Apple’s Latest Daily Puzzle Game: Emoji Wordle Edition

Sure thing, let’s dive into this – World Emoji Day, huh? So, Apple’s dropped this new puzzle thing on their Apple News+ doodah. Kinda neat, I suppose? It’s called Emoji Game. Imagine fitting emojis into a sentence. Like, I know, right? Who saw that coming?

So, apparently, Apple’s been cooking this one up in-house. It’s their fifth puzzle gig on Apple News+. They’ve got all sorts, like Crosswords, Sudoku, and that Quartiles thing they rolled out last year. But Emoji Game? It’s got that iOS flair, you can tell they’ve thought about this one with all their shiny tech.

Okay, how’s it all work? Every day, you get these six puzzles. There are emojis at the bottom, just chilling there, waiting to be dragged into the right spot. Picture this: you get a clue like Disap_ _ _ _, and there’s a pear emoji just calling your name. Slap it in there and boom – Disappear! Although, that pear’s got layers, y’know? Could be “fruit” in different vibes.

Complexity hits when they throw multiple words at you. Imagine trying to solve _ _ _ _ _ _ Year _ _ _ k with just a fish and ghost emoji. Put the ghost in for “Yearbook” because, yes, “boo” is now a word. Fish goes for “school” in that mind-bending “school of fish” logic. Isn’t that a hoot? If it’s too brain-twisty, a hint’s lurking to save the day.

And there’s more – they’ve bundled these emoji sets, sort of mini puzzles within the puzzle. Plus, there’s this Genmoji thing they’ve thrown in. Like, an apple emoji stands in for “core.” Are you getting what I’m putting out?

Here’s the kicker: Apple seems to be chasing that Wordle vibe. Emoji Game is dressed up just like it. Daily challenge, check. Archive for endless fun, check. Compete with buddies for bragging rights, also check. Up to 16 pals can hop in. Very Wordle-ish, without a doubt.

Sure, it may not make you rush to subscribe to Apple News+, but it’s another little distraction if you’re already there.

So, Emoji Game is live on iOS via Apple News+. Fancy that.
