Make Cards and Letters Easier to See on an iPad, Tablet or Computer

Simple settings that make cards, tiles and letters bigger and clearer on a tablet, phone or computer, plus how to put a game on your home screen.

Sunroom Games · Updated October 9, 2026

Small cards and squinting take the fun out of a game. The good news is that every tablet, phone and computer has settings that make things bigger and clearer — and so does our site. Most take a few seconds to change, and you only need to set them once.

1. Use our text-size buttons

At the top of every page on Sunroom Games there are three A buttons labeled "Text size." Tap the middle or the largest A to make the words, buttons and menus bigger across the whole site. On a phone, the same control is a single Aa button: each tap steps up a size, and after the largest it goes back to normal.

Your choice is remembered on that device, so you only need to pick it once.

The cards, tiles and puzzle grids already stretch to fill the space available, so they don't change with the text size. To make them bigger, use the next two tips.

In any of our card games, you can also choose four-color cards: open Settings and pick "Four colors" under "Card colors." Diamonds turn blue and clubs green, so a diamond is never mistaken for a heart, or a club for a spade, at a glance. Like the text size, it's remembered on that device and applies to every card game.

2. Turn your tablet sideways

Most of our games are wider than they are tall, so on a tablet they're largest when you hold it sideways (landscape). If the screen won't turn, the rotation lock is probably on.

• iPad: swipe down from the top-right corner of the screen to open Control Center, then tap the button with a padlock inside a circular arrow to turn rotation lock off.
• Android tablets: swipe down from the top of the screen and look for a button called Auto-rotate or Rotation, and turn it on.

On a phone, it depends on the game. Mahjong's Tower layout is designed for a phone held upright, with big tiles. The classic Turtle layout is very wide, so it's easier to see with the phone sideways — or on a tablet.

3. Zoom in on the page

Zooming makes everything on a web page bigger, cards included.

On a computer

• Windows: hold down the Ctrl key and press + to zoom in, or – to zoom out. Ctrl and 0 (zero) puts things back to normal. This works in Chrome, Edge and Firefox.
• Mac: do the same with the Command (⌘) key: ⌘ + to zoom in, ⌘ – to zoom out and ⌘ 0 for normal size.

The browser remembers the zoom for each website, so Sunroom Games will stay zoomed the next time you visit, without changing other sites.

On an iPad or iPhone

In Safari, tap the page menu button at the left end of the address bar. Depending on your version, it looks like a small page or the letters "aA". Then use the zoom controls: on recent versions they're under Page Zoom, and on older ones they're a small and a large letter A.

You can also zoom in with two fingers: place them on the screen and spread them apart. That's handy for a quick look, but the page menu setting is better for games: the page rearranges itself to fit the screen, so you don't have to scroll around to see the whole board.

On an Android phone or tablet

Spread two fingers apart on the screen to zoom in. In Chrome you can also set a bigger size for all websites: tap the ⋮ menu, then Settings, then Accessibility, and adjust the zoom or text scaling slider.

4. Settings that help everywhere

These settings change the size and clarity of your device's own menus and apps. On some devices they make web pages bigger too, but often they don't — which is why the tips above matter most for playing games. Still, they're worth knowing.

iPad and iPhone

The newest version of Apple's software, iPadOS and iOS 27 (released September 2026), moved some of these settings, so we've included both places.

• Bigger text: Settings → Appearance → Text Size. On version 26 or earlier: Settings → Display & Brightness → Text Size.
• Even bigger text: Settings → Accessibility → Display & Text Size → Larger Text.
• Bolder letters: Settings → Appearance → Bold Text. On version 26 or earlier, it's under Display & Brightness.
• Stronger contrast: Settings → Accessibility → Display & Text Size → Increase Contrast.
• Keep the screen on longer: Settings → Display & Brightness → Auto-Lock, then choose a longer time, so the screen doesn't go dark while you're thinking about your next move.

Android

Phone makers name these settings differently, so the easiest way to find them is the search box at the top of the Settings app. Search for font size, display size or screen timeout.

Windows and Mac

• Windows 11: Settings → Accessibility → Text size.
• Mac: open System Settings and type text size into its search box.

5. Put Sunroom Games on your home screen

Instead of typing the address every time, you can add an icon that opens the site with a single tap, like an app.

Open the Sunroom Games home page first, then add it. An icon added from a game page remembers that page's game number, so it would keep opening the same deal instead of the game you were in the middle of. The home page takes you straight to all the games, with your saved games waiting.

iPad and iPhone (Safari)

1. Open the Sunroom Games home page in Safari.
2. Tap the Share button — a square with an arrow pointing up. On recent versions it may be inside the ••• button or the page menu.
3. Tap Add to Home Screen. If you don't see it, tap View More or scroll down the list.
4. Tap Add.

Android (Chrome)

1. Open the Sunroom Games home page in Chrome.
2. Tap the ⋮ menu in the top-right corner.
3. Tap Add to Home screen — on newer versions of Chrome it's called Install and create shortcut.
4. Choose Install if you're offered it: Sunroom Games then opens in its own window, like an app. Otherwise tap Add.

On a computer

Make a bookmark: press Ctrl and D on Windows, or ⌘ and D on a Mac, while you're on the home page.

6. A few more comfort tips

• Cut the glare. Turn the screen brightness up, and tilt the tablet so lamps and windows don't reflect in it. A matte screen protector helps a lot if you often play near a window.
• Use a stand. Propping a tablet up at an angle is easier on the neck and wrists than holding it flat in your lap.
• Try a stylus. A soft-tipped stylus makes it easier to tap exactly the card or tile you mean, especially if your hands are a little unsteady.
• Choose the easier version. Our word search has an extra large 10 × 10 size with bigger letters, and you can print it, too: our large-print printables are made for paper.
