    <h1>Welcome to accessible Sudoku</h1>
    <p>This is a version of Sudoku designed to work with a screenreader like NVDA or JAWS. An approximation of the output of a screenreader is also shown below the game board along with the ability to toggle a simulation of partial sight so non-screenreader users can get an idea of what it is like to use the game with a screenreader.</p>

              <h2>How to play</h2>
              <p>Note: this version of the game has the partial vision simulation on by default. You can turn it off using the controls below the board or by using the keyboard shortcuts explained below. Other than this simulation, mouse users can use the game just as any other online sudoku game.
              <p>This is a simpler version of sudoku that uses just the numbers 1 to 4 rather than 1 to 9.
              <p>The game BOARD consists of 4 SQUARES arranged in a 2 by 2 grid. The SQUARES in the top row are designated SQUARE A and SQUARE B. The SQUARES in the bottom row are designated SQUARE C and SQUARE D.
              <p>Each SQUARE contains 4 CELLS arranged in a 2 by 2 grid. The CELLS in the top row of each SQUARE are designated CELL A and CELL B. The CELLS in the bottom row are designated CELL C and CELL D.
              <p>Keyboard users can use TAB and SHIFT+TAB to move through each of the cells one by one in SQUARE, then CELL order. So, as you tab you will travel through all 4 CELLS of SQUARE A, then all 4 CELLS of SQUARE B, etc.
              <p>If you are using a screenreader or can see the simulated screenreader output, you can tell which SQUARE and which CELL you are in at all times, as well as the current value of the cell.
              <p>You can use keyboard shortcuts to move quickly around the board and also to have the screenreader announce the other numbers that are entered in your current SQUARE, ROW or COLUMN. Keyboard shortcuts are only active whilst the keyboard focus is within the game. The keyboard shortcuts are:
              <ul>
                <li>W: Give details of current cell.
                <li>RR: Read current ROW.
                <li>RC: Read current COLUMN.
                <li>RS: Read current SQUARE.
                <li>Cursor keys: Go to adjacent cell in indicated direction. 
                <li>G[SQUARE][CELL]: Go to chosen cell. E.g. GBC will move the keyboard focus to SQUARE B, CELL C.
                <li>CC: Check your answers. This will tell you if the sudoku is completely solved or not.
                <li>CH: Toggle highlighting which cells are correct and which are incorrect.
                <li>CS: Reveal solution.
                <li>CR: Restart game.
                <li>CF: Toggle simulating full loss of vision by hiding the board completely.
                <li>CP: Toggle simulating partial sight by blurring the board. This is on by default.
                <li>CO: Toggle displaying simulated screenreader output below the board.
              </ul>
