AppleVis Extra #97: Zanagrams and Beyond A Conversation with Zach Tidwell

Update June 2025: Zanagrams is no longer available in the App Store. We are preserving this interview, as the developer's accomplishment remains the same and we believe it is an important piece of our community's history.

In this AppleVis Extra, Thomas Domville talks to Zach Tidwell, the developer of Zanagrams, the word game that won the 2023 AppleVis Golden Apples Award for the Best Game of the year. Zanagrams is a fun and challenging game that tests your vocabulary and spelling skills. Zach shares his inspiration, challenges, and tips for creating an accessible and engaging game for blind and low vision users. Tune in to hear his story and learn more about Zanagrams.
