The game consists of a number of rounds. In each round, a player gets three rolls of the dice. After the first roll the player can hold any dice they want and re-roll the other dice. This procedure is repeated after the second roll. The player has complete choice as to which dice to roll. It is possible to re-roll both dice that were or were not rolled before.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 5Dice at none against Clean Crosswords's 1. 5Dice also leads on ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
