Word Ladder for iPad – my favorite iPad word game – got updated today, to Version 2.2.0.

This update adds one nice new option – the ability to turn the game timer on or off. So if you enjoy the game but don’t enjoy the timed aspect of it, you can just turn it off. I think it’s a good choice to let this be an option.

The only other item listed on the change list for this new version is ‘minor bug fixes and performance improvements’.

Here’s an App Store link for Word Ladder; it’s a free (but ad supported) game and a universal app designed for both iPad and iPhone.
