Hi Carol,

Thanks for looking into writing a review. It's much appreciated. I believe 
the limit is pretty big: for example, it looks like it's 6000 characters if 
you're writing a review using iTunes.

I have been wondering if it's possible for us to have a blank puzzle/grid

It's definitely possible, but it would be a lot of work to produce 
something that's polished, accessible and easy to use. Unfortunately, have 
the time for that work at the moment.

I think I understand the problem. When I was designing the VoiceOver 
support I made the decision for the VoiceOver rotor to stay focussed on the 
keyboard as you enter or delete letters. My thinking being that it would 
make it easy to enter or delete another letter. However, I realise now that 
this makes it hard to skip between letters as you have to find the word on 
the grid again so that you can move the rotor. You can get to it by 
swiping, but it may take a lot of swipes. I'm now wondering if it would be 
better if the rotor automatically focussed on the next letter if you've 
just entered one, or the previous letter if you've just deleted one. That 
would allow you to easily swipe forwards or backwards through the word's 
letters. Hopefully, you'd still be able to easily enter or delete another 
letter as it should be easy to find the keyboard on the screen as it's nice 
and big and in a well-known location.

This is exactly the sort of thing I was hoping to get feedback on from 
experienced VoiceOver users. Thank you. If you and others think the 
behaviour that I've described above would be a good change to make I should 
be able to tackle it for the next update.

Thanks again,
Andy
