Re: Wordle is accessible without a plug-in

2023-01-21 Thread Anna Dresner
Hi Donna,

I play the spelling bee regularly and don’t use Screen Recognition. I do set 
VoiceOver not to navigate to images. Then I can flick between the letters and 
double-tap to enter them, then double-tap Enter.

Best,
Anna

RE: Wordle is accessible without a plug-in

2023-01-21 Thread sherrywells1157
Holly,

I play Wordle every day on my Windows 10 computer using Chrome.  I had no 
problem adding the extension.  When you open the game, you do have to tab to 
get to the keyboard.  Then you just arrow to the letter you want & hit enter.  
When you hit the enter key on the keyboard to try your word, Jaws reads each 
letter & whether it is absent, present or correct.  You can go to the top of 
the screen & arrow through your choices if you want to double check where a 
letter was not in the right spot.  Here are the links again to get Wordle 
started using Chrome.

Link to add extension

Link to play game:

Happy playing!

Wordle is accessible without a plug-in

2023-01-21 Thread Anna Dresner
Hi everyone,

I just found out that Wordle is accessible in The NYTimes app, and a friend is 
using it with safari. A browser add-on or bookmarklet used to be necessary, but 
it isn’t now. In the app, the tutorial still isn’t fully accessible, but the 
game is.

In case you don’t know. Each day Wordle picks a 5-letter word, and you have six 
tries to guess it. You type in your word using the keyboard at the bottom of 
the screen and press Return, which is in the lower left corner of the screen . 
(Backspace is in the lower right corner.) Voiceover tells you whether each 
letter is present, absent, or correct. When you touch a letter you used in a 
previous word while making your next guess, you also hear its status. This is 
handy if you try to use a letter you have already eliminated; you’re told it 
was absent. All your guesses are put in a grid near the top of the screen, with 
your first guess at the top. When you guess the word, VoiceOver says each 
letter is correct and then congratulates you. The game keeps track of your 
stats, and that information is also accessible.

To play in the NYTimes app, open it and choose the Play tab. Wordle is the 
first game listed; choose the button to play the game. Then choose Play. It’s 
easy to find it on the web by searching for wordle.

Have fun,
Anna
