## What is Brailliance?

Brailliance is a puzzle game where you guess the word by adding up braille dots. 

This game has been carefully crafted to be playable by everyone, and it includes multiple accessibility features for people with blindness and other disabilities. For players with unhindered sight, tap the keyboard as you normally would and enjoy the challenge. For everyone else, the game is fully compatible with popular screen readers and can be played with a number of different input methods including keyboards and accessibility shortcuts.

1. Guess the correct word to win.

2. Each guess must contain the total number of braille dots shown. Above, the letters W-O-R-D include 14 braille dots out of the 17 needed.

A screenshot of Brailliance, where the player has added an 'S' to form the word W-O-R-D-S. This adds up to 17 braille dots. The correct letters turn green and make a chime.
3. Letters turn GREEN and make a chime if they're somewhere in the answer.

4. Guesses can be any length, so long as the dot sum matches.

5. You get unlimited guesses. Try to win in as few guesses as possible!

You can play an interactive tutorial by selecting "Start Here" from the main menu.

Tips and Strategy
You can understand how Brailliance plays kind of like a blind Wordle. However, you will quickly run into some major differences. Remember the following as you play:

a. Always look for how many braille dots you need. Swap letters based on the dots, unlike in Wordle where you just swap letters to form similar words.

b. Just start typing! Don't worry about being accurate at first. You will get a feel for the dots as you play.

c. Don't be afraid to use grayed-out letters! Especially if it helps you remove possibilities from the board.

d. There is no penalty for being wrong. Keep trying!

Themis Games is dedicated to the production of disability-friendly games. Please refer to the game manual for details about how to use your preferred screen readers and input devices. Be sure to reach out to us with questions and suggestions.

### 4/5 — Very fun, just noticed two issues

*2026-07-12*

This Is excellent!  Fun! The only things I I've noticed is that whenever the first letter is pressed, it takes a while for the system to catch up. I do this on a braille display and scroll to the letter, and once a letter is pressed, if I try scrolling to either side, it doesn't work, there's a significant delay. This is also the case with direct screen touch. Another issue I've noticed, is despite it saying there's a native keyboard to type the guess, while I can type in the word, it doesn't seem to register and I end up having to use the keyboard and scrolling to each letter, which is tedious, as I'm a proficient braille user.

### 3/5 — Claims are not entirely truthful

*2026-05-15*

You’re claiming that this app functions well with accessibility features, but that is not entirely true. When voiceover is activated, there are important features in this app that cannot be accessed and voiceover needs to be turned off in order to access them. This doesn’t make sense particularly for an app that could be used by many visually impaired people. Please look into this. An example would be the lightbulb for hints cannot be accessed when voiceover is on. It’s counter effective to have someone who’s visually impaired having to turn voiceover off. If this is the case, then there’s no point in playing the game. Thank you for your consideration.

### 2/5 — Braille is secondary here

*2026-04-27*

What’s the point of tying this to the concept of braille if I can’t turn off the letter labels on the braille keys? I paid $10 to get rid of the ads, but I hoped I could at least use it to practice my braille. It’s
L not useful for that if I can just read the keys in the regular Latin alphabet.

### 5/5 — Grade 1 Fun

*2026-02-15*

The game starts getting really fun when you can knock out all the 1- and 5-dot letters and do the math to win! I'd love to try puzzles with grade 2 contractions too

### 5/5 — What an amazing job of creating this app!

*2026-01-11*

I’m really love this app because it is the best app ever I can go up to like any level. I would like to go up to. It is beautiful and it is amazing and it gives me clues to what word I write and when you get the when you type the letters it let you know what letters are not in the word in what letters are in the word I’m enjoying it. I’m enjoying it. Absolutely I love.

### 5/5 — Fun and accessible

*2025-08-21*

Very accessible game for voiceover users. Good brain exercise. :-) Thank you creators for this game.

### 5/5 — It’s a fun and addictive game

*2025-08-07*

So I’ve been learning braille since I was three years old and this game is really fun and so addicting Definitely it  challenges me to  remember how many braille cells are in each letter

**Developer response:** Thank you for the review! We're so glad you're enjoying Brailliance :)

### 5/5 — Fun Puzzle Game!

*2025-07-28*

Already know Braille, but I play anyway, because I love word games. My mom transcribes Braille, so she’s into it now.

**Developer response:** Thanks for playing! We're so glad you're enjoying it :)

### 4/5 — Add number of word size

*2024-10-17*

Great game, but it would be helpful if I could see how many words letters there are in each word I know it’s a visual, but it’s not accessible for the blind

**Developer response:** Thanks to your report, this has been fixed. The game status will now inform you of how many letters are in the word. Remember that you can still guess below that amount.

### 5/5 — makes me think!

*2024-08-11*

I have been a braille reader for 27 years. I still have to think when doing this game because I'm so used to regular word games and counting letters instead of dots. So fun!

**Developer response:** Thanks for playing! Please tell everyone you know about it!
