Réponses du niveau 2271

MELON 5 letters - "Ce fruit a une variété appelée cantaloup" is a straight definition, and MELON is the word that matches. It begins with M and ends with N; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.

JUPITER 7 letters - the clue "Dieu romain changeant Jouvence en fontaine" describes JUPITER directly. It ties with DIKTATS for the longest lane in Level 2271 at 7 letters, so either one opens up the most crossings.

CALIFE 6 letters - "En BD, Iznogoud veut occuper cette fonction" leads to CALIFE by definition. SOLDAT in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.

DIKTATS 7 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Exigences imposées par une société" asks for more than one, and DIKTATS fits. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.

SOLDAT 6 letters - "Il est rose dans le conte musical de Louis Chédid" is a straight definition, and SOLDAT is the word that matches. It begins with S and ends with T; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.

PUPE 4 letters - the clue "Nymphe des insectes diptères" describes PUPE directly. It is the shortest lane here; leave it until the crossings make it obvious.

EPICER 6 letters - "Rendre le plat piquant" leads to EPICER by definition. It begins with E and ends with R; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.

PATTAYA 7 letters - reading "Ville thaïlandaise du Sanctuaire de la Vérité" literally points to PATTAYA. The doubled T is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
