Editorial Staff Note about the App’s Accessibility

In the word definitions, most words are clickable links leading to their respective definitions. However, this format disrupts smooth navigation for screen reader users, as each link is displayed separately, necessitating a swipe or finger movement when using touch exploration to continue reading. This presentation may impact the ease of use for screen reader users, making the viewing of word definitions and information a less seamless and time-consuming process.
