[Federico Viticci updated his WordleBot shortcut based on user feedback:](https://www.macstories.net/ios/wordlebot-1-1-now-fully-accessible-with-native-emoji-to-image-conversion/?ref=birchtree.me)

> Although well-intentioned, my original approach was misguided: even with line-based scores, the grid of emoji characters [still performed horribly](https://twitter.com/annaecook/status/1478409873645731840?ref=birchtree.me) with screen-reading technologies such as Apple’s VoiceOver. WordleBot didn’t do much to make results more accessible for VoiceOver users since it was only reformatting the grid of emoji characters with **additional* text.

What I love most about this is that Federico made a thing that he thought would solve a problem, it didn't solve it, and users told him, but he didn't get mad or defensive, he made a better version.
