Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Layer Puzzle at none against PixWords® Scenes's 10. Layer Puzzle also leads on ads (none vs shown). PixWords® Scenes's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 45 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
