Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Griddle Words at none against Word Blitz ・'s shown. Griddle Words also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks).

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Word Blitz ・ sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Griddle Words sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Griddle Words holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Word Blitz ・ has 45K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of Word Blitz ・'s written reviews are positive against 25% of Griddle Words's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Word Blitz ・ ships an update every 3 weeks, Griddle Words weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
