Rearrange letters in a grid to create words horizontally, vertically or diagonally. When a word is validated, its letters disappear, sometimes revealing more letters to let you create even more words. Be strategic and plan ahead to create words in as few shots as possible in order to score more points and unlock the three stars! Two game modes are available in Lexicrush: WORD HUNT: Create all the words from a given list to win. Be as efficient as possible to beat Par, the suggested amount of shots to finish a level, and earn stars to unlock more levels. POINT FIREWORKS: Create the words of your choosing in the daily grid and score as many points as you can and improve your ranking. Grids are available both in English and in French.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Semantigo at none against Lexicrush's shown. Semantigo also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Lexicrush's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
