Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Typing Arena at 3.1 against Type the Word's 1.0. Typing Arena also leads on update cadence (every 3 months vs every 130 months) and ratings volume (7 vs 1). Type the Word's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
