What would happen if you infused Tetris blocks with the infinite power of numbers? More or Less, that’s what! Join our fluffy pal Cutesy and help him sort the positives from the negatives as he works his way across a huge board of curated challenges. As the name suggests, one turn you’ll be adding numbers to your score, and the next you’ll be subtracting - so make sure you place your pieces wisely to pass the target number! As you progress further outward into each of the board’s four corners, you may begin to encounter some more unusual looking game pieces, such as multipliers, dividers and even the forbidden “sudden death” cube!

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: More or Less! at 5.0 against Crossword's 4.4. More or Less! also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 5) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 5 months). Crossword's advantage is ratings volume (152 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
