Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Pop Bubble! at 3.5 against Word Connection's 1.6. Pop Bubble! also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 78 months). Word Connection's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
