ARTICLE 7 letters - "Ecrit par un journaliste, il se lit" is a straight definition, and ARTICLE is the word that matches. It is the longest answer in Level 2022, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.

DALTON 6 letters - the clue "Frères criminels dans Lucky Luke" describes DALTON directly. TANDEM in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.

ABU 3 letters - ABU is a short, common word - the clue "Le singe qui accompagne Aladdin" 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.

NOCES 5 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Mot au pluriel désignant la fête du mariage" asks for more than one, and NOCES fits. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.

TANDEM 6 letters - the clue "Sur ce vélo deux personnes peuvent monter ensemble" describes TANDEM directly. It begins with T and ends with M; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
