## What is 428 Braille?

This is the Braille version of my 428 word game series. Learn and practice Braille!

I like word games. I played with word games that present scrambled letters and you select the letters that make up a word. How does 428 differ?

"428" = "Four - Eight" letters, like getting five different games in one! To make it even more challenging you have to guess the word the device has chosen! Most guessing games seem to allow you to create any word as long as it's in their catalog of words.

There are five levels:

Level 1: 4 letter words
Level 2: 5 letter words
Level 3: 6 letter words
Level 4: 7 letter words
Level 5: 8 letter words

Each time you get guess 10 words the device has chosen you advance to the next level. Every time you advance to a new level your word count is cleared and you must guess 10 words for each level. For example, if you just advanced to level 3 then your new goal is to get 10 words of 4, 5, and 6 word lengths each.

You get credits for any match you make and you use these credits to get hints. If you fail to guess a word or you hit "STOP" it costs you a credit. If you are advancing in the levels you can always select 4 letter words to build up your credits.

If you achieve all levels you receive a certificate you can save to your photo library and/or email your success.

Good luck!

### 4/5 — Fun game but needs work

*2020-09-09, version 1.0*

First I would like to say the game is fun and it is a great way for my to practice my braille reading. It does have some annoying properties too. 

1) there seems to be no way to turn off the music

2) some words are way out there IE: jihad

3) it only takes one word if the letters can make more than one word. Frustrating when you make a valid word and it does not count

**Developer response:** Audio button added - thanks!

The app tries to get the user to think of words other than perhaps the most common. Thanks for your feedback!

### 1/5 — Racial slur

*2020-09-06, version 1.0*

I downloaded this app to practice my braille. I was appalled when one of the words was a racial slur against Latinx. I emailed the developer in case it was a mistake. 

His reply: “People see what they want to see. I'm not responsible for a tiny fraction of the population that wants to see something that was never intended.
There is no issue to rectify. Since I use the same database of words in other apps I'd suggest you never download another app of mine just to be safe.” 

Even if I was wrong (which I wasn’t and proceeded to show him through multiple definitions from from online dictionaries) this was not an appropriate response.

I would give a negative rating if I could. This is not acceptable.

**Developer response:** The app is being updated after verifing the public domain dictionary I was using had a number of words that shouldn't be included. There was never any intention to slur anyone - a rather absurd assumption. I will credit this user for bringing this to my attention - she's the only one of hundreds that have downloaded the app. Thanks!

### 2/5 — Please fix this app

*2019-12-21, version 1.0*

At first I really liked this game. Then, I kept loosing because I can’t figure out which of 2 or 3 valid words is the one the developer had in mind. For example. I spelled “sober.” This was wrong because the app wanted me to spell “robes.”

**Developer response:** The app tries to get the user to think of words other than perhaps the most common. Something that might help is to play lower levels like 4-letter words and accummulate more hints. Thanks for your feedback!
