Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Logic Grid Puzzles at Free against WordJong's $1.99. Logic Grid Puzzles also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 14 months) and rating (4.8 vs 4.4). WordJong's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 11) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 15.0). On review sentiment, ads, chart position and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Logic Grid Puzzles holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Logic Grid Puzzles has 39K ratings behind it against 31, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of WordJong's written reviews are positive against 85% of Logic Grid Puzzles's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

WordJong ships an update every 14 months, Logic Grid Puzzles fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 16, 2026.
