Current support
Semantic navigation
Primary links, mobile menu controls, and account actions use accessible labels where the current UI provides them.
Color plus digits
Sudoku progress is communicated through digits, notes, and conflict states, not color alone.
No forced account
Guests can start playing without completing sign-in first.
Planned improvements
High contrast options
A future board setting should make box boundaries and pieces easier to distinguish.
Reduced motion preference
Animations should respect users who prefer less motion.
Larger board symbols
We plan to improve readability for small screens and low-vision players.
More complete keyboard testing
We will keep testing puzzle controls and modal flows so keyboard users are not trapped.
