Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Short Circuits at none against Puzzlo's shown. Short Circuits also leads on ratings volume (54 vs 5) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.1). Puzzlo's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 15 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
