"Emoji Game is the perfect addition to the Apple News Plus suite of word and number puzzles, turning the emoji we use every day into a brainteaser that's approachable and fun," said Lauren Kern, editor-in-chief of Apple News, in a press release.

Apple has launched a new emoji game available to subscribers of Apple News+ to rival Wordle. The game features original daily puzzles that challenge players to use emojis to decode short phrases.

Released to coincide with World Emoji Day, the new Emoji Game is part logic, part word game that's inspired by how we use emojis to communicate.
