Accessibility

Last updated October 26, 2026. The Week Eye aims to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA on every page.

What we do

• Every control works with a keyboard, has a visible focus outline and a text label for screen readers.
• Text and controls meet WCAG AA contrast in all four color modes (two styles, light and dark).
• Results, errors and timers are announced to screen readers.
• Animation stops when your device asks for reduced motion.
• Sign-in uses an emailed code that you can paste or have your browser fill in; there is no password and no puzzle to pass.
• The puzzle works in any orientation. On phones, turning sideways opens the image full screen, and a button opens it without turning.
• The timer measures your solve but never cuts you off: there is no time limit.

The limits of the puzzle itself

A stereogram is a visual test: describing the hidden picture in text would give the answer away. Under WCAG 1.1.1 such content needs a text alternative that identifies it, which every puzzle image has, rather than one that describes the answer.

Seeing a stereogram needs both eyes working together. People who are blind, have low vision, or have reduced stereo vision cannot solve the weekly puzzle, and practice cannot change that. Everything around the puzzle stays available: the lessons, the leaderboards, and the archive, which shows every answer and depth map once a week closes.
