Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Lexicon! at none against Word Association!'s 10. Lexicon! also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Word Association!'s advantage is ratings volume (8.2K vs 5) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
