Verdict

The call

Wordle! and Hang_Man both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 69% of Hang_Man's written reviews are positive against 16% of Wordle!'s. Hang_Man also leads on update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). Wordle!'s advantage is ratings volume (845K vs 13K) and chart position (#12 vs #207). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
