if you decide to send him an email maybe it would be a good suggestion to ask him to provide another app for an android phone.  and also you are right in the lockdown it was something to keep your brain active.  it's shame he hasn't developed the other games he has but there you go.  Janet

It is such a shame, Janet, as the app has always been so accessible and was a godsend during lockdown.

I think I saw in settings an e-mail where you can feed back and might do so.

Perhaps it would be better if the designer had two apps, one for iPhones and one for Android rather than trying to make the app work with both. But what do I know (smile)!

Morning Alison like you I do the words in the morning if nothing else is on. I usually use a Braille display then I don't have to have the phone too loud.I can't even use a braille display with the app because it jumps all over the place. it also is telling me that I haven't finished games that I did days ago.  hope he fixes it all soon.  Janet

    Glad to see you have the game back again, Janet. I usually play it
    every morning over a cup of coffee but am finding it so
    frustrating at the moment that I just havent’ the patience. I will
    try the tips that have been shared with you and hopefully will get
    used to them.

    the text to speech back on?  Janet

                        Hi Alison,

                        Yes indeed this is definitely an update that
                        broke things. I wrote to Blue Ox Family Games,
                        the developer of 7 Little words, and below is
                        the response I received:

                        Hi Debby,
                        The latest version of 7 Little Words does use
                        a slightly different version of Voice Over
                        which allows us to extend this game across
                        both the iOS and Android platforms. As such,
                        there are some modifications and we realize we
                        have done a poor job of communicating them and
                        are rushing a build out to remedy this.

                        First off, here are the touch commands for
                        navigating the game board for each puzzle:

                        * swipe right and left to advance through the
                        screen elements as before, but now you can
                        swipe down and up to jump between the major
                        screen sections (back button, clues,
                        answer/spelling, tiles)

                        * use a two finger tap to switch between
                        reading by word or letter and two finger swipe
                        to advance through each clue

                        * when you select a tile as part of an answer,
                        you remain in the tile section, which should
                        reduce the number of swipes you need

                        To note, the two-finger tap to switch the
                        reading by word or letter will be switched to
                        a three-finger tap in the next build as it
                        sometimes caused confusion with the two-finger
                        swipe.

                        We have hired a blind accessibility contractor
                        to help us make it as accessible as possible
                        but we greatly appreciate your feedback on how
                        we can do this better. Your feedback on the
                        click noise for each move is something I will
                        get addressed in a forthcoming build, so that
                        if you decide to turn off the "sound effects"
                        in the game, it will turn off this clicking
                        sound as you swipe through the board.

                        Please let us know if this is helpful and
                        again appreciate any additional feedback you
                        might have.

                        I have always enjoyed this word puzzled game
                        on my iPhone but the recent changes are really
                        making it frustrating to play. The
                        enhancements make it much slower and it also
                        seems to jump about. Is anyone else having
                        better luck than me?
