What belongs in this list

Play a game where I name words that relate to a given word and keep a chain of associations going.

Not here: a word connect letter-wheel game alone; a word search grid alone; a word guessing or word quiz game alone; a general word game alone; a general chatbot that could be prompted to play alone

How we pick

For this list we ask the App Store the same searches a person would, in several countries, and keep every app it returns. A model reads each app's listing and rejects the ones that only mention the use case. Every app that stays is scored out of 100 from four parts, each 0 to 100 and averaged with no weights: its App Store rating, how many people rated it, where the App Store itself ranks it for this list's searches, and how recently its current version shipped. An app showing Apple's Editors' Choice badge gets a fifth part of 100, which can only lift its score. Tiers follow fixed score bands: S from 90, A from 80, B from 70, C from 60, D from 50, F below.
