puzzle game

Easier alternatives: “puzzle games” is searched more and easier
People searching these want the same kind of app. The best of them is “puzzle games”: opportunity 31, and 1 points easier to rank for than the term itself.
14 days of App Store readings: the biggest app gained 2,332 ratings
Median ratings of the ten apps ranking for it. The line is scaled to its own range, so go by the figures: −0.0% over 14 days is flat, so nobody is pulling away.
Read from the App Store once a day and kept, not modelled. The popularity score above is our estimate of demand; this is the store's own answer, unedited.
How to rank for “puzzle game”: no top app leads with it
At 11 characters it fits an app name with 19 to spare, yet the 2 names in the top ten that use it are much longer — brands with the keyword attached, which leaves the phrase competing from inside a longer string.
Apple builds phrases out of single words, so the 2 words here (“puzzle”, “game”) can sit in different fields and still match the whole term. Each counts once across the name, subtitle and keyword field, so repeating a word you already have buys nothing and takes space another keyword could use.
None of the ten opens its name with it — the 2 that spell it out put it later in the name.
Whether it is worth the slot depends on what else you could use it for. “puzzle games” scores 31 on opportunity against this term's 28, at difficulty 55 rather than 56. 4 of the 24 related terms score higher; the other 20 score lower.
Choosing keywords you can rank for explains how the three numbers are worked out, and App Store metadata, field by field covers how to split a phrase this long across the three fields.
