If you enjoy word games in general and solving crosswords in particular, you are going to love this game! This is a word puzzle game suited for both true word geniuses and beginners with strategic minds. You navigate through different worlds in the game by creating criss-cross patterns with words starting at one end of the map and ending at the designated home location. Each map contains bonuses that you can collect by placing words on top of them. The bonuses will make it possible for you to remove obstacles from the map, replace the words you are given and get words with certain start or end letters. Have fun! === Disclaimer === Although we tried our best to exclude any rude or offensive words from the dictionaries used in the game, there might still be occurrences of words that are not suitable for a younger audience. Player discretion is advised.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Gearbox 3D at none against CrossWorlds's 3. Gearbox 3D also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 17 months). CrossWorlds's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
