Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Word Games at none against Blankety's 5. Word Games also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (120 vs 9). Blankety's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and monetization model there is nothing between them.
