# Knotwords+ vs Everyday Puzzles

The clearest difference is rating: Everyday Puzzles at 4.6 against Knotwords+'s 3.8. Everyday Puzzles also leads on monetization model (free vs paid) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). Knotwords+'s advantage is iOS requirement (13.5 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Everyday Puzzles holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Everyday Puzzles has 2.8K ratings behind it against 124, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of Knotwords+'s written reviews are positive against 42% of Everyday Puzzles's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Knotwords+ ships an update every 3 weeks, Everyday Puzzles every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
