PlusWord

PlusWord is a daily mini crossword puzzle that challenges you to solve a crossword style grid while simultaneously discovering a hidden bonus word from highlighted letters.

Each day brings a fresh grid with interlocking words to uncover. The twist? Certain letters are marked, and those letters spell out an additional secret word you need to identify. You're solving two puzzles at once.

• Fill in the crossword grid using the given clues.
• Marked letters within your answers form a hidden word.
• Solve both the grid and the bonus word to complete the puzzle.
• You get a limited number of incorrect guesses before it's game over.
• A new puzzle arrives daily with varying difficulty.

Why we like it:

• ✅The double layer of challenge makes it more engaging than a standard crossword.
• ✅Short enough to knock out during a break without losing your whole afternoon.
• ✅That aha moment when the bonus word clicks into place is deeply rewarding.

Hint: Focus on solving the easier crossword clues first. Once you have a few marked letters filled in, the bonus word often reveals itself, which can help you reverse engineer the tougher answers.
