Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: TwistCross at none against WordBubbles!'s shown. TwistCross also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (94% vs 80%). WordBubbles!'s advantage is ratings volume (14K vs 57) and chart position (#110 vs unranked). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
