A rare, rare breed. As somebody who only ever completes PlusWord on their phone, a format to which it is perfectly tailored, if I ever see it on a full-size computer monitor it reminds me of the giant floor piano in the Tom Hanks film Big: fun to look at, but also strangely grotesque, and surely a total nightmare to play? But they’re out there, the analytics insists, living among us, and seeing all the clues at once. Cheating Petes Scum. The lowest of the low. Undeserving of the game, however they manage to rig it in their favour. If I was in Lancaster’s job, I’d ban them and throw away the key. In fact, there’s a five-letter word I can think of for this lot... virgojellycat actively stays up in anticipation of the next puzzle: “Me and my boyfriend always do it together as soon as the new one comes out (if he’s managed to stay awake!).” Myself and my friend in Malaysia play every day and compare times. Can anything be done to decrease the lag time when using mobile? Also, what's the deal with two word answers like yesterday's LETUP? We always find them a little jarring. Historical performance stats would be nice to have.

Try out Classic Words for instant fun, no matter if you are a beginner in crossword games or a tournament player! The game's initial concept appeared nearly two decades ago, in the form of a cryptic crossword puzzle created for some friends, in which a group of cells in the middle of the grid acted as an additional puzzle, and a series of colored cells led to a Wordle-style challenge.No matter which puzzle you decide to play, you’ll be able to enjoy it at its absolute best. Because as well as being beautifully designed, you won't find a single advert in the Puzzles app.

In the PlusWord, a letter in a green square appears in the same column as it does in the crossword. Classic Words gameplay is classical to crosswords board games: create and place words on the board and boost your score by placing letters on the high scoring Double Letter, Double Word, Triple Letter, and Triple Word squares. This game is extremely simple. It entails guessing a grid. When you solve this mysterious puzzle, you have the option of sharing it on social media. The game has only one possible solution; it's possible that the PlusWord contains letters not found in the crossword, but it can always be worked out logically without guessing. Each try helps players narrow down the secret word. If a player submits the word "lives" and receives a green square for the letter "L," they know the mystery word contains a "L" in the first position. If they get a yellow square for "I," they know the mystery word contains "I" but not in the second position. Players can eliminate letters not in the mystery word and refine their guesses with each attempt.It may be that you have an established daily competition with a partner, relative or friend, and the slate with your PlusWord Pal is wiped clean at the upload of each new puzzle. Or it may be simply a personal best you attempt to beat, rather than each other. Or, if you’re a particular kind of competitive weirdo, it may be that the average time is the key metric. These are all subsets of the One-up Wandas. Plusword is a word game that challenges you to find as many words as possible from a given set of letters within a certain time limit. Classic Words is the number one word game to play against your smartphone or tablet (solitaire mode). Showcase your puzzling prowess by building daily streaks for finishing your favourite games. You'll also be able to earn fun achievements by reaching milestones and taking on new brain-teasers.

It's not a precise science, but the general aim is that, in common with other Telegraph puzzles such as our Cryptic Crossword, PlusWord generally gets more difficult throughout the working week, and slightly easier again on Saturday and Sunday. Tired of stumbling across cheaters or waiting hours for your opponent's next move on multiplayer word games? Having said that, it's definitely the case that difficulty is in the eye of the beholder (or, more accurately, in the eye of the solver). It's almost a given that for any particular puzzle, some solvers will say it was harder than usual, while others will say that the same puzzle was less of a challenge! And I think any PlusWord solver will know that struggling on just one particular answer for the crossword grid can ruin what was shaping up to be a good time.” Of course, it’s not midnight everywhere in the world when PlusWord is published. not-an-isomorphism is still fresh as a daisy when a new puzzle appears: “My wife and I play it every night when it comes out EST. Have hit sub one minute once on mobile and felt like a huge accomplishment. Love the game and what you all do.” Ahh, thanks! Complete the crossword puzzle, then use the letters in the shaded squares to complete the bonus game.

As an American I often find hogwash appropriate,” said Richard Heagy, “though I occasionally borrow the British term codswallop for variety.” Eunice Theaker wrote, “I used balderdash only this morning. It is a word without venom.” That seems to be the joy of these words: clear criticism but without malice. If you enjoy word puzzles, we believe you will enjoy this online game. If you try it, you will understand why this online game has become so popular. Game Rules
