Two halves of a word are sitting on the board. Find the pairs that join into one — SUN and FLOWER, RAIN and BOW — before the clock runs out. DAILY GAME One puzzle a day, the same for every player, with a public Leaderboard. Match every pair before the timer ends and see where you land. CHALLENGE MODE A hundred levels that get harder as you climb. Three attempts on a level: burn all three and you wait out a cooldown, or spend Gems to skip it. PLAY WITH FRIENDS Add a friend, share a Game Code, and race them head to head. Work the same board and take the higher score, or claim the pairs before they can. PRACTICE Play as many boards as you like, at Easy, Medium or Hard. EARN REWARDS Collect Gems and stars as you master each puzzle. Spend Gems to skip a Challenge Mode cooldown, or to unlock a Daily Game you missed. Easy gives you sixty seconds and six pairs; Hard gives you twenty-five seconds and ten. Daily Game scores are checked on our servers, so a place on the Leaderboard is a real one.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Connectionary at 5.0 against Castle Raid!'s 4.4. Connectionary also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks). Castle Raid!'s advantage is ratings volume (80K vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
