What hasn't been discussed here is the 'word play' aspect of a Wordle: the
physical juxtapositions of words that can be thought-provoking, amusing, or
otherwise cause unexpected reactions in the viewer. I can't imagine a
light-touch way to accessify that aspect. This is, for me as a wordsmith,
rather an important feature. (I am not saying because it can't be totally
accessified, one should not try to get it partly so.)
