iPad and iPhone CAN be connected via Bluetooth, through the GameKit API, however Words with Friends does not use this feature.
If you search the App Store for Bluetooth game you will find some programs that will connect between two Bluetooth devices.
On an side note however, most airlines will not allow you to use Bluetooth in flight.
Thank you for that thewitt, I wasn't aware you could do this. Great to learn something new :)
