How to Play Quartiles

In Quartiles, players select tiles containing 2 to 4 letters from a 4 x 5 grid to assemble them into words. To get started, you can easily find a few words and get early points by trying each tile by itself.

As you collect points you level up in ranks for each puzzle. The objective is to find all five Quartiles in a puzzle, which not only nets 8 points each but also grants a 40-point bonus for a total of 80 points. The ultimate goal is to accumulate 100 points to reach the Expert rank.
