Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Enigma at none against Tiny Little Crosswords's 10. Enigma also leads on ads (none vs shown). Tiny Little Crosswords's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 9 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
