Wordvoyance is the world's first scrabble game playable by blind and sighted users alike, at the same time. For the global launch, we've added single player modes, a tutorial, and several quality of life improvements for screen readers and braille displays.

Thanks for all the exclamations. I do have a question can the word you are trying to form intersect with the middle part of the word that’s already on the board whether it’s the one by you or one by your appointment? By the way, I am on Mastodon if you’d like to follow me there.

Just a quick update as part the work toward an Amazon version of the game. There is now a Game Overview screen that acts as row-by-row text output of the game board for braille displays.

From the More Actions menu, swipe right once to find the "Open Overview" button. On desktop, you can also just press 0 (zero) on the number row.

Once in the overview, you can swipe through the game board an entire row at a time. We recommend turning off speech output while in this screen. We also recommend grade-one and 8-dot braille while in this screen. By default, we use numbers and punctuation to represent blank and bonus spaces wherever not consumed by a letter tile. It looks something like this:
30flit00d00m3

You can of course customize which characters get output to your braille display by pressing the Customize Braille button below the overview.

Please give us as much feedback as you can about this feature.
