Welcome to Tap that App, I�m Brian Tong and this is
the show where we cover the hottest apps in the mobile
space.
Casual games might not be enough for you and you�re
really looking for something that uses your brain.
So I�ve collected some of the standout word games,
that will keep your mind sharp and expand your
vocabulary for iOS.
Everyone knows about Words with Friends, its FREE
and its available for iOS and Android with its
scrabble-style word games and triple letter scores.
You can also play against your Facebook friends but
I�m getting tired of someone beating me by using
the �word� Z-A, so what other word games are out
there.
One of the coolest, is a game called W.E.L.D.E.R.
where you start with a game board with letter tiles
randomly arranged. You�re given a limited number of
swaps to create four letter words or larger.
You can swap tiles directly next to each other or
diagonally. When words are created new tiles come into
play. Different tiles have different attributes, and
even when you end up creating words that you�ve never
heard of, you can touch them find out what they mean.
It�s $3.99 and it�s a little higher priced but it will
challenge your mind and it�s a real thinking game.
Another game that�s a completely different kind of
word game is Scribblenauts Remix. You might recognize
this game from the team at 5th Cell on the Nintendo DS,
but its here on iOS for $4.99 with exclusive levels.
You�ll be presented with different challenges, and its
up to you to write down items that will appear in the
game, that you�ll need to solve the problem at hand.
So if we�re trying to get a knight across this lake
with a shark then I�ll create stun gun to shock the
water, then make myself a boat, while I give the
knight a jetpack to get across. It�s really up to your
mind to figure out what works and what doesn�t but its
another awesome game.
So out with the old and in with this new wave of games
that work on your iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch.
If you have any other apps you�d like us to show off,

thanks for watching and we�ll see you next time.
