iOS 17.5 delivered several changes to the Apple News app including an addicting game called Quartiles. You'll get the change with iOS 17.7 if you skipped iOS 17.6.1, iOS 17.6, iOS 17.5.1, and iOS 17.5.
A new offline mode in Apple News+ gives users access to the Today feed and News+ tab, even when an internet connection isn't available. Quartiles is a new and original daily word game that's only available via Apple News+. It's found in the Puzzles section of the app. Quartiles asks the player to combine tiles to form words. Forming words will score points and move you up the Leaderboard in Game Center.
The game starts with a grid that features 20 tiles. You then can form words out of one, two, three, or four tiles. A four tile word is called a quartile and if you find all five in the puzzle, you get a bonus. We gave the game a quick spin and it's actually pretty addicting, especially if you like word games.
In addition, there's now a Scoreboard in News+ Puzzles which gives you access to new player data for Crossword, Mini Crossword and Quartiles, including stats and streaks. |
