Anna, in regards to the game Spelling Bee; When you swipe through the letters that are used to form the words, Do you have a image of the letter tile before the actual letter? Ex. Image A A, Image B B, etc another words it is like the letters are repeated twice. I've turned off describe images in the rotor. I have tried playing Spelling Bee from the New York Times app & website & the crosswords app, which is developed by New York Times & neither is accessible for me to play Spelling Bee. Tapping on the image letter or the actual letter does not select the letter. I'm thinking that I have an accessibility setting that is interfering with game play. Playing on an iPhone 11 with the latest IOS update.
Donna Hi Candy,
I play Wordle in the main New York Times app by choosing the Play tab, then the Play link for Wordle.

Anna, are you playing from the app which is called solve wordle or are you playing the daily word on the new york times website? I am able to play the daily word, but, the app I downloaded called solve wrdl, I just can't figure it out. It is totally different from the single word that i am able to play from the new york times website. Thanks for any help.

Hello Candy,
I have been playing Wordle and the Spelling Bee from within the NYTimes app, and yes, they are accessible. I haven’t tried playing them from the crossword app.

Please excuse me if I am misunderstanding this thread. I downloaded the New York Times Wordell and spelling bee app. I am on able to make it work at all. Am I correct? In understanding that this particular app is accessible? If so, could someone please tell me how to use it? Anna, I understood that you were unable to use the Crossword app, but I am thinking that one is different. I’ve played Wordle every day, but that is only the one word that is with the New York Times. Is this app accessible? Thanks for any help.

Hi Wayne,
Yes, the keyboard is really oddly spaced. Too bad they didn’t use the one they use for Wordle. So whoever said the app was accessible, please tell us how you do it.

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?
