Cadoggle Plus
Cadoggle Plus is an additional mode that you can play. It has the feature that you can add or remove letters in addition to changing them. This opens up new avenues of connections between words. You can use this mode by going to Settings and clicking the button: Toggle Cadoggle Plus ON or OFF. Here is an example:

Since the two words are different lengths you will need to either remove letters from one or add to the other - or both. To remove a letter - such as the 'y' - click on it to select - then click the delete button: .
The result will look like this.

To add a new letter click on a letter to select it - then click the or button to add a letter to either the left or right. If you try to add a letter that results in a non-valid word it will not work. To cancel adding or removing a letter just click on any letter and it will cancel the move.

For both Cadoggle and Cadoggle Plus:

• You can undo up or down - or start over - using the buttons below the keyboard
• The colors indicate whether the change is up or down or where the words meet
• When you have connected the two words your results will be shown
• The best you can do is the minimum number of steps. It's great to solve it no matter how many steps - but it's a fun challenge to try to match the minimum number of steps.
• Note that we have a limited list of words (which may grow over time). If the new letter forms a valid word on the list it will put the new word on a new row. If it's not a valid word the message will let you know.
