Practice FrenchWord Puzzle: a French word a day
Six tries to find the noun, then one tap to pick its article. Every result teaches you the word: le or la, what it means, a sentence it lives in, and how it sounds.
How a round works
- Type a French noun of the day’s length. Green tiles are in the right place, amber ones are in the word somewhere else, grey ones are not in it.
- You have six rows. After two rows you can ask for a hint: the first letter; after four, the meaning.
- When the word is found or the rows run out, pick le or la. The result shows the article, the meaning, an example sentence and the pronunciation.
Why the le/la step
French nouns have a gender, and learners forget it faster than the word itself. Guessing the article right after the word, every day, is the smallest possible habit that fixes it.
