The full statement

1. Our goal

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at level AA on every page of wordcurious.com, from the games and tests children use to the pages where adults make, share and print lists.

Student pages have no timer by default, so children can take the time they need. Where we are today: [current status against WCAG 2.1 AA, and how we checked it].

2. Known limits

We know about these, and we’re working on them:

  • [Known limit 1, with a workaround if there is one]
  • [Known limit 2]
  • [Known limit 3]

3. How to report a problem

If something gets in the way for you or your students, please tell us. Say which page you were on, what happened, and the device, browser and any assistive technology you use.

Report a problem
