Cross-platform, if federally installed (6)
I believe the answer is:
miffed
'installed' is the definition.
The answer and definition are not the same part of speech. However, past participle verbs and adjectives sometimes mean the same thing.
'cross-platform if federally' is the wordplay.
'MIFFED' is hidden within the letters.
But, I am unsure how the hidden word is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for miffed that I've seen before include "Informally offended, put out" , "Aggrieved" , "Annoyed, hacked off" , "Disgruntled" .)
