Réponses du niveau 7406

CAP 3 letters - CAP is a short, common word - the clue "Direction visée quand l'on est en bateau" gives it away with a straight definition. It ties with VAR for the shortest lane here; wait for crossings before committing.

VAR 3 letters - VAR is a short, common word - the clue "Département français où se situe le cap Nègre" gives it away with a straight definition. It opens with an uncommon V, which makes it a strong anchor for the lanes it crosses.

PMU 3 letters - PMU is a short, common word - the clue "Entreprise en charge des paris hippiques en France" 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.

JEANGALFIONE 12 letters - reading "Il devient champion olympique à la perche en 1996" literally points to JEANGALFIONE. It ties with ANNIVERSAIRE for the longest lane in Level 7406 at 12 letters, so either one opens up the most crossings.

BOF 3 letters - BOF is a short, common word - the clue "Interjection courante exprimant l'indifférence" gives it away with a straight definition. CAP in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.

ANNIVERSAIRE 12 letters - the clue "Le jour de notre naissance" describes ANNIVERSAIRE directly. The doubled N is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.

MASCULINES 10 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Par opposition à féminines" asks for more than one, and MASCULINES fits. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.

NEZ 3 letters - NEZ is a short, common word - the clue "Partie avant du fuselage d'un avion" gives it away with a straight definition. It begins with N and ends with Z; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.

ARTICLE 7 letters - "Texte d'un journal" is a straight definition, and ARTICLE is the word that matches. It begins with A and ends with E; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
