Constructor's Note
Each cell is a single digit 0 to 9 and all answers to clues are three digit numbers between 100 and 999 (I.e. no leading zeros). The bottom and rightmost rows are Wordle answers. After completing the crossword, use the shaded numbers to solve it. To solve the bottom row, read the clues horizontally. To solve the rightmost row, read the clues vertically. Note that the 2 Pluswords are independent of each other, they only need to satisfy the Wordle grids read in their respective directions. 
=digit not present, 
=digit present but in wrong place, 
=digit in correct place. Digits may be repeated and the solution is almost unique within the Wordle rules and numbers from 100 to 999.
