User reviews

This extension brought me great joy, and was perfect, until a couple of days ago when something broke somewhere. Vispero reported this was happening with multiple screen readers, not just JAWS, and they couldn't help. Version 4 of this extension enables me to play Wordle again (huge respect for doing this so quickly!), which is of course amazing, but I'm hoping Dominic can figure out how to make it easier to navigate from the keyboard to and through the letters of guessed words. FYI, for some reason, I'm having absolutely no luck at all playing Wordle on my iPhone (the bookmark for the extension was deleted and a new one created for the revised extension. Thanks so much Dominic for all you do!
