Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Easy Boggle at none against One Clue Crossword's shown. Easy Boggle also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 2 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). One Clue Crossword's advantage is ratings volume (37K vs 1) and chart position (#163 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
