| You made it further than me. While I could see the clue and after a time could enter the missing letters, I found the keyboard to be challenging at best. I was expecting a normally sized keyboard, but found that there were noticable gaps between each letter. This made using explore by touch to find the right letter to be quite taxing. I eventually figured out that if I found the right row, I could flick between the letters and double tap the one I wanted. I have since deleted the NY Times Crosswords app for these issues. I'm glad that others found the app to be accessible, but it wasn't for me.

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?

This one is free with in app purchases.

I found it in the US App Store. One thing to note is the Crosswords app has a cost of $9.99 and includes several in-app purchases for more puzzles.

Hi. There used to be a crossword puzzle app in the app store called "FOUR Down," which had some free crossword puzzles, and then you could get some more for a small charge. I loved this app and worked all the puzzles. It was accccessible, and I worked the puzzles without a Braille display. I don't know if it's still available now, but this was an excellent app. Also, there is a crossword puzzle in the Blindfold Games set of apps, which includes about 40 or 50 games of all types made especially for blind people.
I hope this helps.
Thanks.

I’ve recently read an article about the benefits of crossword puzzles, related to dementia, etc. and thought I would begin to look for some of these. Are there any that are blind friendly that you all know of that I could access on my phone?
