Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Codewords Pro at 88% against Mots Fléchés's 32%. Codewords Pro also leads on ratings volume (259 vs 5) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). Mots Fléchés's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.6). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
