Delight in crosswords is commonly clued by short words like GLEE, JOY, ELATE, AMUSE, or PLEASE depending on the number of letters. If you share how many letters the answer must have or any crossing letters you already know, I can pinpoint the exact solution. Here are the most frequent 3–7 letter matches you’ll see:

• 3 letters: JOY
• 4 letters: GLEE
• 5 letters: AMUSE or ELATE
• 6 letters: PLEASE or THRILL
• 7 letters: ENCHANT or REGALE

If you have a specific clue with a letter pattern (e.g., _ _ L E E or A M U S E _), I can confirm the precise crossword answer.
