Accessibility Statement

FindWords is committed to making our website and mobile app accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. We follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at the AA level. This page describes the steps we have taken and the standards we follow.

What we do

All pages use semantic HTML with proper heading hierarchy

Color contrast meets WCAG 2.1 AA minimum (4.5:1 for text)

All interactive elements have a minimum touch target of 44 by 44 pixels

Skip navigation link on every page

All images have descriptive alt text

Forms use proper labels and error messages

The site works with keyboard navigation only

Focus indicators are visible on all interactive elements

Animations respect the prefers-reduced-motion setting

ARIA labels are used where native HTML semantics are not sufficient

The site is responsive and works on all screen sizes

PDF printables are designed for clear readability

Standards we follow

We target WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance across all pages on findwordspuzzles.com. This includes guidelines for perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust content. Where possible, we also meet Level AAA criteria, especially for color contrast (targeting 7:1 for body text).

Assistive technology

We test our website with screen readers (VoiceOver on macOS and iOS, NVDA on Windows) and keyboard-only navigation. Our goal is for all content and features to be usable without a mouse or touch screen.

Known limitations

Word search puzzle grids present a unique accessibility challenge. The visual scanning nature of the puzzle requires sight. We are exploring ways to make the puzzle experience available to screen reader users, including audio-described grids and alternative game modes. This is an active area of work.
