# Bewilderword vs Find Hidden Objects

The clearest difference is rating: Find Hidden Objects at 4.5 against Bewilderword's 3.5. Find Hidden Objects also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (59K vs 21). Bewilderword's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
