Word with Friends/Hanging with friends.

By E88, 4 September, 2011

iOS and iPadOS Gaming
Has anyone been able to play either Hanging with friends or words with successfully? I saw hanging with friends had been recommended so downloaded it but can't get the letters into the squares, so wondered how you'd managed that...I think it should be pretty easy to make both apps accessible in the way that Moxy is.

Accessibility of Hanging with Friends

HI, I have found that hanging with friends is mostly accessible with voiceover, but words with friends is not. Entering words for your friends to guess in hanging with friends is accomplished by double-tapping each of the lettters in your word, then by double-tapping the play button. The letters are added to your word, which does not seem to be visible with voiceover, so if you make a mistake, just double-tap the recall button to start over. HTH

The latest version of Hanging with Friends has been made much more accessible! Many of the controls and buttons now contain labels and voiceover hints, and letter point values are now announced. You can also check the progress of the game by reading the hint of the history button.

Hello there Hanging with friends is very usable. I found balloon count is spoken when you keep finger on history in the game screen. Works very well with vo. As for words with friends I have written the developer and she finally got the idea about voice over and blind users of the ap. She was receptive and said she would submit information to engineers for discussion and possible improvements. I liked hanging with friends I decided to buy the paid version. I think it is worth the .99. Hours of fun await all who will try. Angie

I really hope words with will become accessible, I don't see why they can't make it so you double tap the letters on the board like on hanging.
