Réponses du niveau 2837

EXAEQUO 7 letters - "Au même rang dans la compétition" is a straight definition, and EXAEQUO is the word that matches. It is the longest answer in Level 2837, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.

ALIENS 6 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Créatures extraterrestres" asks for more than one, and ALIENS fits. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.

MASSIF 6 letters - "En France, il est Central" leads to MASSIF by definition. The doubled S is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.

PERLER 6 letters - reading "Former des petites gouttes" literally points to PERLER. ALIENS in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.

MARIS 5 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Hommes épousés" asks for more than one, and MARIS fits. It begins with M and ends with S; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.

HIER 4 letters - the clue "Juste avant aujourd'hui" describes HIER directly. It ties with ROND for the shortest lane here; wait for crossings before committing.

ONCLE 5 letters - "Le père de ma cousine" leads to ONCLE by definition. It begins with O and ends with E; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.

PLUME 5 letters - reading "Légère, on la trouve en nombre sur un oiseau" literally points to PLUME. It begins with P and ends with E; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.

ROND 4 letters - "Qui a la forme d'un cercle" is a straight definition, and ROND is the word that matches. At just 4 letters, it is a quick fill - the crossing letters from longer answers should confirm it.
