LAST becomes STEAL becomes TABLES. That's Anagrow. Three words a day, each built from the letters of the last plus one new letter you have to find. Solve the four-letter word and its letters carry into the five. Solve that and they carry into the six. HOW IT PLAYS Green means right letter, right spot. Amber means right letter, wrong spot. Correct letters lock in place, so you only shuffle what you haven't cracked yet. You get fourteen guesses for the whole ladder, not fourteen per word, so use them wisely. ONE PUZZLE A DAY Everyone gets the same ladder. Solve it, build your streak and see how your scores stack up over time. Turn on reminders and we'll let you know when tomorrow's puzzle is ready. WANT MORE? Finished the daily? Bonus ladders are there if you fancy another go. No accounts. No timers. No pressure. Just letters, and the word hiding in them. Made by Sausage Studios.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Anagrow at 100% against Luna Controller's 29%. Anagrow also leads on update cadence (weekly vs monthly). Luna Controller's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
