# Word Charm vs LetterCode

The clearest difference is review sentiment: LetterCode at 100% against Word Charm's 41%. LetterCode also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.8) and ads (none vs shown). Word Charm's advantage is ratings volume (3.9K vs 29) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.6). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Word Charm sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and LetterCode sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

LetterCode holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Word Charm has 3.9K ratings behind it against 29, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 41% of Word Charm's written reviews are positive against 100% of LetterCode's.

Word Charm ships an update every 2 months, LetterCode fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
