Guess the News lets you guess REAL news from the most popular news sources. You can play with top stories, nation, entertainment, sport, science, and more sections that include tens of individual feeds.

Learning to play is very simple: Choose a section, read the brief article description, and then guess the article's title by matching the letters to their slots (tap a tile to send it to the first open slot, or drag it to any open slot). Remember: only the highlighted letters match the highlighted slots. If you want to change slots, touch them!

Learning to play is easy, but guessing the news not always is :)

As an extra bonus, you can also have fun with languages! Besides English, Guess the News lets you play with REAL news in Deutsch, Español, Français, Italiano, and Português from news sources located in Australia, Brasil, Canada, Deutschland, España, France, Ireland, Italia, New Zealand, UK, and US.

Guess the News uses RSS to get the latest news. Feed source may change from time to time. Current feed sources include ABC, CBS, CNN, ESPN, MTV, PopSugar, The New York Times, USA Today, BBC, and Yahoo plus tens of international feeds.

While this week has been filled with news and reviews of fast paced games, I've always had a weakness for word games on the iPhone, even though I'm fairly terrible at them. Here are three recently released or recently updated word games that are all worth checking out-- Guess the News [99¢ / Free] - Surprisingly enough, the news is good for more than material to auto-tune. Guess the News pulls news stories down from various RSS feeds, and turns them in to puzzles to be solved. You're given a brief description of the article, then need to guess the headline from the pile of letter tiles on the game board. Puzzles are broken out in to several categories such as health, sports, and even "odd stories". For instance, I recently played a few games in the technology category that had me guessing the titles of Engadget posts. Guess the News Read More

Guess The News makes headlines on this iPhone

It’s got all the top news headlines in it, and perhaps that is why it is such a top word game. Guess The News is a word based game where to have to figure out the news from sources like MTV, The Onion, CNN, CBS, etc. We have several news sections to choose from such as Top Stories, Nation, International, Business, Entertainment, and others. Once we have chosen the section we want to play, we get to read a short description about the article. That should give us a clue as to the headline; we simply have to drag and drop the letters to their right slots, or double tap on the selected letter. It is a good idea to guess the shorter words first. Also, the game play gets easier because both the word and the matching letters are highlighted. Once we guess an article correctly, we move on to Read More

Multiplied Fun!

I like to try out games that are new and fresh to iTunes. You never know what gem you may find. Well, this is a gem! Learning about the news in a playful way is a very innovative approach and admittedly so, quite addictive, too. I like the fact that it's easy and yet challenging. The feeds are contsantly updated so I do not see the same headline again. The cool thing is that I can even read the news without loosing my spot in the game. All in all, I think this will be my favorite game to play from now on :)

guess the news rocks

This game is really awesome! It's kind of like playing wheel of fortune but with current news headlines. So you get to have fun and be informed at the same time. The game is very polished and even has a bit of a tutorial to teach you how to play. It's really fun to try to win the medals in all of the news categories. I would recommend you give this game a shot today while it's still 99 cents! It's worth a lot more than that!
