Middly Word Puzzle
Read full descriptionHide full description
Middly is a sharp little word puzzle about finding the word in the middle. Guess the hidden 5-letter word, and each attempt tells you whether the answer comes alphabetically before or after your guess. Every guess narrows the range, turning the alphabet into a puzzle you can squeeze from both sides. It is simple to learn, surprisingly strategic, and perfect for a quick daily brain stretch. Compete with your friends in the Daily Challenge, or play as many times as you want in Unlimited Mode. All free, with no purchases!

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Middly Word Puzzle at none against Alpha Omega's 10. Middly Word Puzzle also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 8 days vs monthly). Alpha Omega's advantage is iOS requirement (13.5 vs 15.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
