From the makers of the Triominos app, comes the first and only multiplayer Wordsearch app! Challenge your friends and see who can find words the quickest. This game is based on the classic Wordsearch game, which has sold millions. - Invite your friends and challenge them to play. - FIND words the quickest. - PLAY on multiple devices. - PRACTICE and enhance your speed. _________________________________________ GAMEPLAY Wordsearch includes a 7X7 grid of letters that has hidden words. The words can be found horizontally, vertically, diagonally and also backwards. At the top of the screen, you will see a timer, and the word you’ll be searching will appear at the bottom. When playing against your friends, the object of the game is to see who can find the word the quickest. If you find the word faster it be marked in red. The scores are calculated based on the characters of the words (1 character = 1 point). But watch out, your opponent can deduct points by crossing words you’ve already found in the grid. (1 character crossed = -1 point). After four rounds all points are totaled, and the highest score wins!

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Stop at 4.6 against WordQuest's 4.0. Stop also leads on ratings volume (106K vs 1) and chart position (#92 vs unranked). WordQuest's advantage is review sentiment (80% vs 44%) and ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Stop sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and WordQuest sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Stop holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stop has 106K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of Stop's written reviews are positive against 80% of WordQuest's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Stop ships an update every 3 months, WordQuest every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on November 14, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
