Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Word Lookup Lite at 86% against Crossword Solver Silver's 33%. Word Lookup Lite also leads on rating (4.7 vs 3.5) and monetization model (ad-supported vs paid). Crossword Solver Silver's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
