Can one enlarge emoji clues in crosswords

The clues in Apple News+ Crossword and Mini Crossword puzzles are so small, even on a computer screen, that they are virtually unreadable. When in dark mode many are impossible to make out!


For a company that develops and offers so many built-in accessibility features, I find the Puzzles interface sadly lacking.


Other than changing my whole screen resolution, is there any way to make the the emojis bigger?

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 15.6

Take an isolated screen shot Shift Command 4


and enlarge it as much as needed or practical...


Command + larger

Command - smaller

Command 0 default



make changes to your screenshot settings to make it easy and readily available, if necessary...

Shift Command 5
