Open Emoji Game in Apple News+
Opens the deep link into Apple News+ for the Emoji game. Here’s how Apple describes it:
“The object of this logic and word puzzle is to complete several phrases with as few moves as possible. Each emoji may be interpreted directly, through association, or in combination with other emoji. When you attempt an answer or expand a clue, it counts as a move.”
