Squell is a casual spelling game that challenges your vocabulary and your spatial reasoning. Imagine Boggle got a little too friendly with a Rubik's cube and you've got Squell. Rearrange a grid of letters to spell words. How many moves you make matters, but get good and keep the game going to rack up tons of points. Squell games are controlled by how many moves you make, so you play it at your own pace. It's a great game to put down and come back to later, since all progress is saved on your device as you play and you can always review the words you've already spelled. It works offline, so it's great on a plane, a train, or in that waiting room with no cell service. Squell is simple to play, but with plenty of strategies to uncover and master, you'll come back to it again and again!

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Squell at 100% against Nozoku Rush's 58%. Squell also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 39 months) and ratings volume (26 vs 2). Nozoku Rush's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Nozoku Rush costs $1.99 and Squell $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Nozoku Rush holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Squell has 26 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of Nozoku Rush's written reviews are positive against 100% of Squell's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Nozoku Rush ships an update every 39 months, Squell every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on September 14, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
