Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Wrod at none against AstroWords's shown. Wrod also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 11.0). AstroWords's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (9 vs 1). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
