#1 Words With Friends: Tried to Contact Developer

Posted on August 23, 2011 by Brandi

So, I have also noticed the inaccessiblity issues with Vo & I tried to contact the developer but in order to submit the form, you have to solve a captcha which does not have an audio version. So I couldn't solve it. I will see if I can maybe use Salona or something sometime in order to register my complaint. This is such a popular game & it would be great if more of us advocated to make it accessible.

#2 Words With Friends Accessibility

Posted on August 23, 2011 by Liz

If you find a way around the Captcha, let me know as I will also contact the developer. I would love to see this app become accessible! A lot of my friends use it and I am bummed that I am left out.

Hi. I downloaded this app and tried to play with some friends, but I couldn't figure out what to do. How does this game work and how do you play it?
