Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Connections at none against Select 4 Words's shown. Connections also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5). Select 4 Words's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 10 days) and ratings volume (13 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
