Wordly - More fun than your mother's word game ($4.99 → Free, 40.8 MB): ★★★★★ LAUNCH DAY DEAL ★★★★★ Download TODAY and get 520 free coins, a $4.99 value! ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★

From the team that brought you Dice With Buddies and Mini Golf MatchUp arrives a fun turn-based word game. Like Letterpress, the goal is to claim and steal tiles to earn points by creating words until no more tiles are left free. However, Wordly does include a couple of extras that change up the gameplay. Wild tiles are randomly selected and offered for free once per match. These additional letters provide great assistance during dire times if utilized effectively. As for the second perk, it's about opponent flexibility. Instead of challenging friends and strangers, you can choose to compete in quick matches against skilled AI-controlled characters representing great intellectuals, such as Albert Einstein. The game features cartoony 2-D graphics, an in-game chat system, daily goals and achievements, and Facebook, Twitter and With Friends network integration. Wordly - More fun than your mother's word game is available for free today only (09/04). It has a 5-star rating with a total of 23 ratings.

Lens•Lab ($1.99 → Free, 840.0 KB): A virtual lens simulation tool for photographers of all skill levels. The app graphically illustrates how the settings of your camera and its lens will affect your photos. You're able to easily control the focal distance, focal length, and aperture by sliding your finger across the screen. The illustration above the settings will change in real-time. The app includes the ability to configure sensor size and the overlays, and includes distances measured in both metric and imperial units.

Lens•Lab is available for free for a limited time. It has a 4.5-star rating with a total of 29 ratings.
