Hi everyone, I tried to play the mini crossword in the New York Time Crosswords app, but I couldn’t quite make it work. When it opens, the Across clues are listed in a very accessible way, saying how many letters the word has and whether any letters are filled in. If I touch one (not double-tap but just touch), the letters I enter go into that clue. If I double-tap anywhere, a screen displaying the grid opens, and if I touch a square, I’m told which square it is and whether it’s blank or what letter it contains. Doing a scrub gesture returns me to the list of Across clues. So far, so good.
However, I can’t find a way to hear the Down clues with the same information. If I touch an Across clue and flick down, there’s a Reverse Direction option, but whether I simply touch that option or double-tap it, the clues don’t switch to the Down clues. The clue at the bottom of the screen, which is the one being edited does change to a Down clue, but it doesn’t tell you how many letters are in the word or whether anything is filled in. If I choose the option to bring up the list of clues, the clues do say if a letter is filled in, but not how many letters total there are or where the filled-in letter is. So it seems to be maddeningly close to accessible, but not quite. Am I missing something?
