Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Crossword at 70% against Mots Fléchés's 32%. Crossword also leads on ratings volume (152 vs 5). Mots Fléchés's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.6 vs 4.4). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Mots Fléchés sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Crossword sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Mots Fléchés holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Crossword has 152 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 32% of Mots Fléchés's written reviews are positive against 70% of Crossword's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Mots Fléchés ships an update every 2 months, Crossword every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
