Accessibility

The target is WCAG 2.1 AA. Here is what that means in practice, and what we know is not there yet.

What is in place

A skip link, semantic landmarks and one h1 per page.
Full keyboard operation, including the crossword: arrow keys move, space swaps direction, tab moves between clues.
Visible focus on every interactive element, and 44px touch targets.
Motion respects prefers-reduced-motion; nothing on the site depends on hover to be understood.
Alternative text written from the editorial record. Decorative images are hidden from assistive technology rather than described.

What is outstanding

A full audit with screen-reader users on Android, which is the majority platform for our readers.
Urdu-language interface strings, which are not built yet.
