Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Word Wizard Challenge at none against Crosswarped's shown. Word Wizard Challenge also leads on ratings volume (22 vs 1). Crosswarped's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
