Quartiles is a novel word game available to Apple News Plus members on iPhones or iPads operating on iOS 17.5 or subsequent versions. In this word game, you get 20 lettered tiles and endeavor to assemble them into various words. The longest words consist of four tiles, referred to as Quartiles. The game may be challenging, although discovering a single Quartile is as gratifying as recalling something that was momentarily elusive.

Quartiles is playable on an iPhone or iPad; however, an Apple News subscription, beginning at $13 per month, is required.

Numerous Wordle derivatives: Dordle, Quordle, Octordle, and Sedecordle

Are you prepared for a challenge? If you like Wordle and want more intellectually demanding puzzle games, consider exploring Dordle, Quordle, Octordle, or Sedecordle. Each of these word games is similar to Wordle, however they include more rows, columns, and words to decipher. Each game requires the simultaneous resolution of a varying number of words: Dordle involves two words, Quordle entails four, Octordle comprises eight, and Sedecordle demands an impressive sixteen. Best of luck.

Dordle, Quordle, Octordle, and Sedecordle are playable on any web browser.

Lewdle

The content warning for Lewdle states, "Lewdle is a game about inappropriate language." "If you are prone to being offended by profanity, vulgarity, or obscenity, this is likely not suitable for you." Translation: It is Wordle, but including inappropriate language. The vocabulary spans from innocuous terms, such as "poopy," to expressions that would provoke embarrassment in a sailor. Fortunately, despite the content warning of this game, slurs are absent. Similar to Wordle, gray, yellow, and green blocks are used in the same manner, and there is a single puzzle available each day. Proceed and let the profanities to emerge!

Lewdle is accessible on every web browser. This product is available for download from the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store.

Antiwordle

Exasperated by the proliferation of gray, yellow, and green blocks dominating your social media feed? Consider experimenting with Antiwordle. Whereas Wordle encourages you to deduce a word in minimal attempts, Antiwordle challenges you to evade the word by guessing as often as possible. Upon making a guess, letters will be shown in gray, yellow, or red. Gray indicates that the letter is absent from the word and cannot be reused; yellow signifies that the letter is present in the word and must be included in all future guesses; red denotes that the letter occupies the precise location inside the word and is secured in place. To win, you must use every letter on the keyboard, regardless of the accuracy of the word formed. In all honesty, I have found this iteration of Wordle to be far more challenging than the original.

Absurdle

Absurdle presents itself as the "adversarial variant" of Wordle. While Wordle guides you towards the proper answer with each attempt, Absurdle seeks to evade providing the accurate solution. The game's website states, "With each guess, Absurdle discloses minimal information, altering the secret word if necessary." Absurdle does not choose a word at the outset of the game for the player to deduce. Rather, it employs the player's conjectures to refine its lexicon, aiming to prolong the duration of the game. The concluding statement may not include a yellow letter from any of your previous attempts. You may make an unlimited number of guesses, which is advantageous, and the most achievable score is four. Enjoy yourselves!
