ContraBee is a complement to each day’s official New York Times Spelling Bee. It uses the same hive as each day’s Spelling Bee, but with a twist: Instead of requiring the center letter, Contra Bee excludes it. You’ll be surprised at how many words you can find if you turn your mind upside down.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: LEXI Bingo at 5.0 against ContraBee's 4.1. LEXI Bingo also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks). ContraBee's advantage is ratings volume (8 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
