Five-O puts a numerical twist on the classic crossword board game! Instead of letters, you place number tiles, forming sequences that must add up to multiples of five, with no more than five tiles per sequence. Think strategically, maximize your bonuses, and outscore your opponent! Features: Easy to learn rules Single player mode with challenging computer opponents Online Multiplayer! Play with your friends or let Game Center find you a match Simple controls, just touch and drag the tiles to the board  Hints for when you get stuck How to play: Players take turns placing intersecting sequences of numbers on the board which sum to multiples of five. For example, 7-3-8-7 would be a valid sequence because it adds up to 25. The sequence 3-9-5 is not valid because it adds up to 17 which is not a multiple of five. On each turn, players may play tiles in one straight line sequence, horizontally or vertically. The first sequence must be played on the center square, and all sequences after that must intersect with tiles already in play. The score for each play is the sum of all the number tiles in sequences completed on that turn. Colored bonus squares award extra points and multipliers. At the end of each turn, players draw new tiles to replace the ones played. The game ends when a player plays all of their remaining tiles and there are no more tiles left to draw.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Five at 85% against Farkle Dice Roll's 24%. Five also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). Farkle Dice Roll's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and rating (4.9 vs 4.5). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Farkle Dice Roll holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Farkle Dice Roll has 50K ratings behind it against 71, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of Five's written reviews are positive against 24% of Farkle Dice Roll's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Five ships an update every 4 months, Farkle Dice Roll fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
