Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Spuzzle at Free against Type's $2.99. Spuzzle also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.8) and review sentiment (100% vs 60%). Type's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 31 months). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
