How to play

  1. A family tree appears with a clue under each spot, such as "Your parent's sister".
  2. Tap a French word from the bank, then tap the relative it belongs to.
  3. A correct drop locks in green and is read aloud; a wrong one shakes so you can try again.
  4. Fill every spot to complete the tree — with no mistakes for a perfect score.
