Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Tiny Crossword Blitz at none against Tiny Little Crosswords's shown. Tiny Crossword Blitz also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 77%) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). Tiny Little Crosswords's advantage is ratings volume (13K vs 58) and rating (4.6 vs 4.4). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Tiny Crossword Blitz sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Tiny Little Crosswords sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Tiny Little Crosswords holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tiny Little Crosswords has 13K ratings behind it against 58, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Tiny Crossword Blitz's written reviews are positive against 77% of Tiny Little Crosswords's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Tiny Crossword Blitz ships an update monthly, Tiny Little Crosswords every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
