Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Letler at Free against Codenames's $2.99. Letler also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 66%). Codenames's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 5). On rating, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Codenames against 4.8 for Letler.
