Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Daily Word Games at 100% against puzzling.com's 38%. Daily Word Games also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.5). puzzling.com's advantage is ratings volume (70 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Daily Word Games sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and puzzling.com sells 18 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Daily Word Games ships an update every 9 days, puzzling.com every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
