It stands for Word Examination Laboratory for Dynamic Extraction and Reassessment, but never mind the strained acronym. What W.E.L.D.E.R. really stands for is the iPad's most addictive word game, a clever combination of Bejeweled, Boggle and Scrabble. The object is to slide letter tiles around an 8-by-8 grid, forming words of four or more letters. However, you won't get far unless you figure out how to combine score-multiplying gold tiles with the limited number of moves you're given. -- AP
