Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: kotoha at none against Words Block Puzzle's 6. kotoha also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). Words Block Puzzle's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 80%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

kotoha holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: kotoha has 20 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Words Block Puzzle's written reviews are positive against 80% of kotoha's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Words Block Puzzle ships an update every 6 weeks, kotoha every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
