# Word Puzzle Solver vs Unlock

Word Puzzle Solver and Unlock both sit at 4.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 58% of Unlock's written reviews are positive against 17% of Word Puzzle Solver's. Unlock also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (3.5K vs 279). Word Puzzle Solver's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Word Puzzle Solver sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Unlock sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.0 for Word Puzzle Solver against 4.0 for Unlock. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Unlock has 3.5K ratings behind it against 279, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 17% of Word Puzzle Solver's written reviews are positive against 58% of Unlock's.

Word Puzzle Solver ships an update every 5 months, Unlock every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
