We read from left to right on consecutive lines. Some days, that is impossible due to the irregular height of the tiles on the home page. The smallest tiles often truncate the title. On days when there is much irregularity, I don't bother with looking at the home page. The home page is most readable and useful when the tops of the tiles are in consistent rows and the tiles are large enough to display the full title. I don't understand your ignoring this simple point.
