Ready to twist, tweak, and tinker with words? Introducing LinkWordy – the ultimate brain-teaser for word wizards! Here's the deal - You're given two words, and your challenge is to connect them in a chain of linked words. But hold onto your vowels! At each step in the chain, you must change EXACTLY ONE letter from the previous word. You've got a limited number of steps to make the magic happen. Think you've got what it takes to turn 'ODE' into 'HAT' in just 3 steps? Or maybe you're up for the challenge of transforming 'COLD' into 'BELT' in a mere 4 moves? Fear not - along the way you have a pack of lifelines to assist you in your task. With each word change, turn your way through the English lexicon, one letter at a time, until you've cracked the code and reached your target word. It's like a linguistic labyrinth – with a satisfying 'Aha!' moment waiting at the end of each twisty turn. So, whether you're a wordplay pro or just looking for a fun mental workout, LinkWordy is the game that'll keep your brain buzzing and your fingers tapping. Let the word games begin!

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: CrossWorlds at none against LinkWordy's shown. CrossWorlds also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). LinkWordy's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 17 months). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
