# WordQuest vs Word Puzzle

The clearest difference is rating: Word Puzzle at 4.8 against WordQuest's 4.0. Word Puzzle also leads on ratings volume (16 vs 1). WordQuest's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 26 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WordQuest sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Word Puzzle sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Word Puzzle holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Word Puzzle has 16 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

WordQuest ships an update every 10 days, Word Puzzle every 26 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
