How to play
A Braille character appears. Tap the answer that matches it. You get an answer straight away, then the next one comes along by itself.
How a cell works
A cell has six dot positions: 1, 2, 3 down the left and 4, 5, 6 down the right. A big solid dot is raised. A small hollow ring is an empty position.
Numbers
Braille has no separate cells for digits. A number sign (dots 3-4-5-6) ⠼ comes first, and the cells that follow are read as numbers: A is 1, B is 2 … I is 9 and J is 0. So ⠼⠁ is 1 and ⠼⠁⠃ is 12.
