Peter Drake HAS MOVEDInspiring podcast episode about developing blind-accessible video games:
In what will surely be the most exciting game of any kind played in America today, my mother beat me at Vordvoyance (a Scrabble clone) by one point.
I've been playing online Scrabble with a relative who uses an Amazon Fire. Although this is an Android device, Amazon has their own app store (which doesn't include the official Scrabble GO app), because chokepoint capitalism.
(I am aware that there is an elaborate workaround for this, but it would involve setting up a gmail account for them.)
So we're sticking with Wordvoyance.

Chris CScrabbble game, Wordvoyance. For iOS users, do not forget to use virtical navigation on your rotor so you can move both left and right, and up and down without a problem. If you do not have it on your rotor, just go to Voiceover settings, swipe down and double tap on rotor, choose rotor items, and then just choose virtical navigation to select it from the list and add it to the rotor. Happy Scrabbling! #Wordvoyance #scrabble #game #iOS #Accessible #Blind
SheDevilUgh, scrabble, if you don’t mind, please stop giving me letters I can’t use. ***grumbles*** Anyways, off to bed. #Wordvoyance

Do you have access to the latest versions of both #jaws & #MicrosoftEdge?
when I'm notified via email that it's my turn & I attempt to sign-in, the page freezes, which locks up my computer so bad that it causes #jaws2024 to crash entirely.
For reference, I'm using a #LenovoYoga laptop with 16gb ram & a 1TB SSD.
Has anyone else seen this, when playing #Wordvoyance on the computer?

@themis_ben I’m having a very bizarre issue with #WordVoyance. My friend @ab9mz are in the process of playing a game. the game is very close to ending. I only have V, Q, & Z left but he has no letters. What do we do? Why won't the game end on its own?
@nycki96 Do you like word games? There is a new one that I play, that's similar to #Scrabble.It's called #Wordvoyance. They have a Discord server. Go to themisgames.com to check it out and sign up. You can play on your phone or computer. It works very well with #voiceover and #Jaws. Feel free to reply to this post or message me privately if you have any questions or difficulties.
Morning Mastodoners! A friend on FB just turned me on to #Wordvoyance, an #Accessible Scrabble-like game that can be played in your Web Browser or via iOS and Android apps currently in beta. They have Hangman too, (currently only browser-based), and both can be played with friends. So why not join me? My username's dotsonapage. And yes sighted folks, you can play too. #Blind #AccessibleGames #WordGames https://www.themisgames.com/wordvoyance/
