Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Name Puzz at none against Word Forge's 4. Name Puzz also leads on ads (none vs shown). Word Forge's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 30 months) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.4). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
