Verdict

The call

Ruzzle and Word Vision both sit at 4.2 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Word Vision's written reviews are positive against 43% of Ruzzle's. Word Vision also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). Ruzzle's advantage is ratings volume (7.9K vs 7) and chart position (#63 vs unranked). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
