Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Word Competion at none against Smartichoke's 6. Word Competion also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 8 days). Smartichoke's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
