A New Word Game

The other interesting new thing that Apple News+ brings to the table is a brand new word game.

Apple started adding small word games to your Apple News+ subscription with iOS 17.0, but so far, they’ve only been daily crosswords.

Now there’s a game called Quartiles. This daily word game presents a set of tiles that you need to use to make as many words as you can find.

The goal is to make as many points as possible. As you can probably guess, the longer the word you create, the more points you’ll get. You also get integration with Game Center, which lets you see your overall ranking for some friendly competition with other players.
