Ears Word Cookie is a fully accessible word game for both sighted and visually impaired people, designed for rapid audio play. Your objective is to create as many words as possible using a set of letters. In each cookie, there are from 5 to 20 levels. Each level has a set of letters, and you have to find all the words that can be created from those letters. You can use the letters multiple times. For example, the practice cookie has one level, and has the letters "C", "A", "T". Words must be at least 2 letters long, so you can easily create the words CAT, ACT, and AT. Since you can use a letter multiple times, you can also create the word TAT by using the letter "T" twice and the word TATA by using the letters "T" and "A" twice. Once you have completed a level, you move on to the next level. Once you have completed all the levels for a cookie, you move on to the next cookie. Cookie word packs are available as in-app upgrades. Ears Word Cookie was suggested by several blind game players who enjoy Word Search.
