ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Connect Words holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Connect Words has 52K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Guess It's written reviews are positive against 40% of Connect Words's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Guess It ships an update every 2 months, Connect Words every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
