ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Word Connect Puzzle. holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Codewords Pro has 262 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Word Connect Puzzle.'s written reviews are positive against 88% of Codewords Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 months. Both last shipped on November 2, 2026.
