Questions
Qu'est-ce qui rend une énigme difficile ?
Une énigme difficile te mène au mauvais type de réponse. Elle utilise un mot à double sens, ou pose une question sur le mot lui-même, comme quel mot devient plus court quand tu ajoutes deux lettres (court).
Comment fonctionne la série ?
Chaque énigme que tu résous ajoute 1 à ta série. Afficher la réponse ou Suivant sans réponse la ramène à 0. Ta meilleure série reste dans ce navigateur.
Dois-je taper la réponse exacte ?
Non. Les majuscules, les articles, les pluriels et une petite faute de frappe n'ont pas d'importance, et les énigmes avec plus d'une réponse juste acceptent chacune d'elles.
Puis-je défier un ami avec une énigme difficile ?
Oui. Appuie sur Copier le lien de cette énigme, ou Partager sur un téléphone. Le lien ouvre la même énigme avec la réponse cachée.
Ces énigmes sont-elles réservées aux adultes ?
Non. Elles sont difficiles, pas grossières. Chaque énigme est propre, donc les adolescents et une classe peuvent aussi y jouer.
