Add solutions and instructions to accessible crossword page.

What is the value of this and can you measure success?

A user brought it to our attention that the text-only version of our crosswords, which is intended to be accessible for screen-reader users, does not contain solutions to the crossword.

Given that we provide solutions for (most) puzzles in the interactive player (e.g. when pressing 'reveal all') this represents a clear lack of parity between the core experiences offered by the text-only and interactive versions.

What does this change?

  • Adds a disclosure element which contains two tables of solutions: one for across clues and one for down clues, to mirror the way we structure the clue.
  • Also adds a brief description of what's on the page, based on user feedback that it wasn't self-evident before.

Screenshots

Three main states:

1. Initial render

Before After
Puzzle title and three lists: blanks, across clues, down clues As before, but the lists are under a heading 'Puzzle description' which includes a description of the puzzle structure. Below it is another heading 'Solutions', which has tables for across and down clues, including their solutions.

2. Solutions disclosure in 'expanded' state

3. Solutions not available
