Rules and tips to remember
Open with three vowels
French words lean on e, a, i, u and o. Open with a word that tests three of them, such as audio or aimer.
Think of common endings
Many answers end in an e: -re, -te, -se, -le. When the last letter turns green, try those pairs.
Type the plain letter
e also matches é, è and ê, so type the plain letter. The answer shows its accents at the end: note them, you’ll need them when you write.
