Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Millie's Game at none against Codewords Pro's shown. Millie's Game also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 88%). Codewords Pro's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 9 months) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
