Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Wordzy at none against Quad Word's shown. Wordzy also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 69%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Quad Word's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 69 months) and ratings volume (14K vs 5). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
