BIBERONS 8 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Bouteilles dans lesquelles les bébés boivent" asks for more than one, and BIBERONS fits. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.

ÈVE 4 letters - the clue "Dans la Bible, elle est la femme d'Adam" describes ÈVE directly. At just 4 letters, it is a quick fill - the crossing letters from longer answers should confirm it.

MÈRE 5 letters - "Elle est à maman ce que père est à papa" leads to MÈRE by definition. FILET in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.

FILET 5 letters - reading "Il sépare un terrain de tennis en deux parties" literally points to FILET. MÈRE in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.

OLÉ 4 letters - "Interjection espagnole d'encouragement" is a straight definition, and OLÉ is the word that matches. ÈVE in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.

SIGNATURE 9 letters - the clue "Marque personnelle apposée au bas d'un contrat" describes SIGNATURE directly. It is the longest answer in Level 3998, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.

PIE 3 letters - PIE is a short, common word - the clue "Oiseau réputé voleur" gives it away with a straight definition. It ties with BOA for the shortest lane here; wait for crossings before committing.

ARDU 4 letters - reading "Qui est d'une grande difficulté" literally points to ARDU. It begins with A and ends with U; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.

BOA 3 letters - BOA is a short, common word - the clue "Serpent fort, grand et non venimeux d'Amérique" gives it away with a straight definition. At just 3 letters, it is a quick fill - the crossing letters from longer answers should confirm it.
