Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Match 3* at none against Word Win's 10. Match 3* also leads on ads (none vs shown). Word Win's advantage is ratings volume (8 vs 1) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.
