How to check accessibility before you buy a game
A practical checklist for checking store tags, official documentation, and player experience reports before you buy.
Word Tack
Relaxed English word-sorting puzzle with VoiceOver support, no timer, sound, haptics, and spoken card positions.
Short verdict
VoiceOver users who like word associations and can manage drag-and-drop tile movement. It is free and untimed, so it is easy to test first.

Where to find the game
- App Store: Word Tack
Covers: iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Vision Pro
Accessibility
- AppleVis reports that the app is fully accessible with VoiceOver, all page elements are read, and buttons are clearly labelled.
- The App Store text says VoiceOver can announce when rows are solved and where each tile sits on the board.
- Version 1.1.0 adds VoiceOver announcements for solved rows, Inklings, Clues, and card position, such as row and card number.
- No timer or move limit makes it possible to take time with VoiceOver navigation and recover from misplaced tiles.
- Sound, haptics, and soft music can be adjusted separately; Reduce Motion is available for calmer play.
Known limitations
- Tiles are moved with drag-and-drop. Several AppleVis comments say this is tedious or difficult with VoiceOver and ask for double-tap, rotor, or another movement method.
- One AppleVis comment describes card-position feedback sometimes becoming stale until VoiceOver focus updates.
- The App Store accessibility-feature field is blank, so this assessment relies on app text, release notes, and AppleVis user testing.
- English is the only confirmed language. Norwegian text or speech is not confirmed.
- Mac and Apple Vision Pro compatibility are listed on the App Store, but the practical VoiceOver testing I found covers iPhone and iPad.
Price/status
Free. The App Store text says no ads, no in-app purchases, no account, and offline play.
Available on the App Store. Version 1.1.0 added better VoiceOver feedback for rows, hints, clues, and card position.
