I don't think that argument stands up at all. If you are playing Braille
Scrabble, it stands to reason you can read Braille.

could not agree more EN but their argument would be I am sure that not
everybody could read Braille. I can live with that but what I find very hard
to live with is that the tiles do not stay in position. I know the person I
was playing with had to give me extra help which really I should not need
but that is all down to such a poorly designed board. I should be able to
examine the board quietly and without anyone having to say a word and
instead she was having to tell me where there were gaps and possible moves
which means it was really partly heard that was playing my turn.

Why didn't they use the Dl, TL, DW and TW markings for the premium squares as on the original American board? That would have been the obvious solution to putting tactile markings on the squares.

Subject: [access-uk] description of the scrabble board
The playing board consists of 15 x 15 squares in the playing area. there are pegs at the corners of each square to help locate the tiles in their proper position.
on some squares there are labels with tactile dots and bars. these mark the premium letter squares and premium word squares. to ensure that the board is correctly orientated, turn it so that the markings on the premium squares run horizontally at the bottom of the labels, nearest you. The board is then facing you correctly, and can be rotated as each player takes their turn.
