Hi Donna,
I am wondering what phone and which iOS version you are using. I
really liked your solution for when someone accidentally turned off
speech in 7 Little Words, however, on my iPhone SE 202 running iOS
14.8 and 15 it didn’t work. I was sillily adventurous, and I turned
off speech in the game. Then I went to the app switcher, and while on
7 Little Words I turned the rotor to “direct touch” and turned it on.
It didn’t restore speech to the game. Unless there is something I did
wrong, I will have to delete the app and download it again.
I did have the most recent update working, and I am getting used to
it. However, I sure wish you could turn off the infernal clicking.
Right now that toggle still isn’t working. I am going to write to the
developer about that.
Thanks for your help!
Take care and stay safe!
Debby

Well I just took the plunge and downloaded it for the very first
time I will have to learn how to play this it sounds fun similar
to scrabble Innoway it looks like and boy it’s been quite
sometime since I’ve played Scrabble myself but thanks for
introducing this game. I downloaded the trumpets pack since I
myself am a trumpet player. You know the other game I like is I
associate II.

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!
Best,
Anna

I’m giving up on it and have deleted the app. It is
such a shame as it kept me sane during lockdown but I
am just finding it too fiddly and frustrating to use

If it reverts to being more useable, please let us
know and I’ll reload it.

Hi Janet,
Yes, a sighted person would need to go to setting,
and check the box for text to speech.
By the way, two friends and I did the same thing
Because we didn’t have working eyes available, we
completely deleted the app from our phones and then
downloaded it again. That brought speech back. If you
have purchased any puzzle packs you will need to
restore those purchases.
Take care and stay Safe!

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

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?
