Verdict

Both are free to download. Ruzzle sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and Word Blitz ・ sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Word Blitz ・ holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Word Blitz ・ has 45K ratings behind it against 7.9K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of Ruzzle's written reviews are positive against 39% of Word Blitz ・'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Ruzzle ships an update every 6 weeks, Word Blitz ・ every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
