Also means, Polygon is optimized to play with an iPhone even if you still can play it on an iPAD.

You can drag the puzzle pieces with one or two finger when using two fingers you can also rotate the piece and you don't have to touch screen where the piece is even if you could. You can use any part of screen to drag or rote the piece. When you drag the piece to its place you win some points but if you can place it by throwing, you will get more points and if you can bounce it from sides you will get even more points.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Polygon at none against Thread Merge's shown. Polygon also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). Thread Merge's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 5 weeks). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
