Accessibility

Playing without sight

We want everyone to be able to play, including people who are blind or have low vision. These games have a screen reader mode: switch it on with the button near the top of the game, in Settings, or by opening the game with ?sr=1 at the end of the address. It is remembered on this device for every No Fuss game that has it.

• Klondike solitaire: playing with a screen reader
• Sudoku: playing with a screen reader
• Anagrams: playing with a screen reader

What works

• The whole game can be played with the keyboard alone, without seeing the screen.
• The board is built from real buttons, lists and grids, so a screen reader can read every card, cell or letter.
• Short spoken updates after each move, and commands to read the whole board, ask where something can go, undo and get a hint.
• Nothing is shown by colour alone: suits, givens, clashes and progress are spoken and written out.
• Choose short or full spoken detail. Screen reader mode works together with Calm (large print, strong contrast).

How we test

Every change is checked automatically in Chromium: full games played with the keyboard only, the accessibility tree read back, every spoken update checked for content and length, and an axe-core scan with no serious or critical problems. We have not yet tested with screen reader users on VoiceOver (Mac, iPhone), NVDA (Windows) or TalkBack (Android); we are looking for testers now, and we will update this page with what they find.

Tell us what doesn’t work
