Accessibility

We want anyone to be able to read, play and print everything here, including people who use only a keyboard, a screen reader, a phone or a magnifier. This page says what works today and where we still fall short.

Flip cards

  • Every card's answer is behind a real button ("Reveal the answer"). Press Tab to reach it and Enter or Space to flip the card; focus moves to the "Flip back" button.
  • Screen readers hear only the face that is showing: the answer side is hidden from them until the card is flipped.
  • "Reveal all" opens every card at once, which is quicker with a screen reader or when you are reading aloud to a group.
  • If you set your device to reduce motion, cards change without the flip animation.

Votes and quiz mode

  • Both sides of a would-you-rather or this-or-that question are buttons labelled with their full text. The result is announced as text, not only as a colored bar.
  • Quiz mode uses ordinary buttons for each choice. Right and wrong answers are shown with words as well as color.

Printing and zoom

  • Printable card packs are PDFs with large, plain type. The answers are on a separate sheet.
  • The site zooms to 200% without losing content, and printing a page from the browser prints every card face up.

Known gaps

Rebus puzzles are visual by nature. Each one has a text description of its layout for screen readers, but some lose their trick when read aloud. Emoji riddles depend on how your device names each emoji. If something does not work for you, please tell us what device and software you were using and we will fix it.
