Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Dungeon Scroll at none against WordBuzz's 10. Dungeon Scroll also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). WordBuzz's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 35 months) and rating (4.7 vs 4.3). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
