If you synced the iPad to your computer after you bought the game, it should be in iTunes. All you have to do is check the box on the "apps" tab the next time you sync. If you haven't synced since you bought it, go through the motions of purchasing it again... after you click the " you'll get a window that tells you that you've already purchased it, do you want to download it again? You won't be charged a second time for it. You'll lose any scores, etc., regardless. When you delete an app, you delete all data associated with it, and you can't get that back.

Since this is a new question, you should post it to a new discussion. Here is how to delete it:


1. Press and hold any app icon on your ipad screen.


2. In a few seconds, the applications will all start to "wiggle" and a black"x" will appear in the corner of each icon.


3. Press the "x" in the corner of the app icon you wish to delete.


4. You will be prompted to confirm deletion. "Deleting (tis application) will also delete all of its data."


5. Click "Delete" and the application will be deleted.
