How much do you know about apples? Take our quiz.

Portland Press Herald Releases Online Apple‑Quiz for Readers

PORTLAND, Maine – The Portland Press Herald today added a new interactive feature to its online archive, inviting readers to test their knowledge of apples with a short quiz titled “How Much Do You Know About Apples? Take Our Quiz.” The article, posted at 1:24 p.m. on September 29, 2026, appears in the publication’s Puzzles & Games section and is freely accessible to anyone who visits the website.

Readers are encouraged to click the quiz link, which does not require a subscriber account or login. “Anyone can access the link you share with no account required,” the article notes, a feature designed to make the quiz shareable on social media and email. The quiz itself is a quick, multiple‑choice test that covers common apple facts, varieties and culinary uses. Upon completion, participants receive a score and a brief summary of their apple knowledge.

While the quiz is open to all, the Press Herald continues to promote its digital subscription program. “With a The Portland Press Herald subscription, you can gift 5 articles each month,” the article explains, and includes a call‑to‑action button to subscribe. If a reader attempts to email the quiz link to a friend, an on‑screen error message appears: “An error has occurred. Please try again.” The message suggests that the site’s email‑link feature is temporarily down, but the quiz link itself remains functional.

The article also highlights the publisher’s ongoing strategy to blend casual content with subscription incentives. “You are able to gift 5 more articles this month,” the article repeats, underscoring the Press Herald’s practice of allowing subscribers to share limited content with non‑subscribers.

Although the piece is short, it provides a snapshot of how Maine’s largest daily newspaper is adapting to the digital age: by offering engaging, sharable quizzes to keep readers on the site, while encouraging them to become paying subscribers for broader access. The apple quiz, the simplest of the Press Herald’s puzzle offerings, demonstrates the publication’s commitment to providing light‑hearted, informative content that can be enjoyed without a subscription.
