The daily challenge

Guess what three French idioms mean. Everyone gets the same three, once a day.

Four options and one right answer

Each of the three gives you a French idiom and four possible meanings, one of them right. The word for word translation is hidden. There is a hint to reveal it when nothing springs to mind.

Taking the hint still counts as a correct answer. It costs you half a point.

Everyone gets the same three

The three are fixed for the day. That is what makes a score worth comparing, since whoever you show it to faced the same puzzle.

It resets at midnight UTC.

Share your result

Finishing gives you a row of squares. Green is a clean answer, amber means you took the hint, red means you were wrong. Send it to a friend. They had the same three idioms, so the comparison is a fair one.

Streaks

Play on consecutive days and a streak builds. Miss one and it goes back to zero. The streak lives in your browser, not in an account, so there is nothing to sign up for.

If three is not enough

The quiz runs as long as you like, with no daily limit and no streak to protect. Or read the whole collection instead.
