Jeu de lettres difficile (trop pour certains, désolé) gratuit en français. Avec plus de 7600 mots (avec conjugaison) de 5 lettres répertoriés, la difficulté est optimale. Pour varier un peu les plaisirs, vous pouvez varier la longueur des mots à trouver de 2 à 12 lettres (mais 5 restent l'idéal à mon avis). Jeu auquel j'ai joué au CP en 1977 (merci de ne pas calculer mon âge !) et qui est devenu à la mode longtemps après.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Codewords Pro at 88% against MotLe's 33%. Codewords Pro also leads on rating (4.8 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (259 vs 1). MotLe's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
