I love the new "Connections" game from the New York Times, but I just realized it's not keyboard-accessible. Literally just <div>s with pointer* listeners, even though these are basically just buttons with a pressed state.
I guess I had kind of naively thought our industry was getting better at #a11y as a whole? In any case, I gave them feedback, so hopefully they'll fix it.
@nolan I don't think any of the NYT games are accessible 😅
I've used/played Wordle as an example (of something that doesn't work with a screen reader) during accessibility training a few times before.
Edit: tested the letter grid with VO again now and they’ve actually made improvements: https://queer.garden/@fossheim/111313939909813529
@[email protected] actually, did a quick check with VoiceOver now and it seems like they've rolled out improvements since last time. Before the status of the letters was not announced, and the letters not grouped (eg. "w", "a", "v", "e", "s" without context), now it's changed to: "<nr> <letter> <correct | present in another position | absent>" and each word seems to be grouped. Haven't tested beyond that or checked semantics, but seems like a big improvement actually.
