Hi everyone, I actually got it to work! There was an update last night, but it still didn't work well, so I reinstalled it. I continued to have problems and discovered that Screen Recognition was on. Once I turned that off, it worked pretty well. I even got braille output! It puts out the braille as alert messages, so I set the Braille alert Message time to 3 seconds. I can't use the display to control the game, but I can flick with one hand and read with my other hand on the display. The word eye is displayed when the letter i is spoken in a clue, but otherwise, it seems to work. It's pretty responsive, and I like being able to do a single finger flick up or down to move between the sections of the game. I'm so happy that this is playable again!
