How to play
- Read the English word at the top — that is the clue.
- Four French words are thrown up the screen one after another and arc back down. Only one is the translation of the clue.
- Drag your finger or mouse across the right word to slice it. A quick tap works too, and keys 1 to 4 slice the first to fourth word from the left.
- Slice the right word to score and move to the next clue; slice a wrong one, or let the right one fall off the bottom, and you lose a heart.
- Clear all six clues before your five hearts run out — you hear each French word spoken as you slice it.
Questions
Is this French slicing game free?
Yes — Slice the Word plays in your browser, on a phone or a computer, with no sign-up. Sign in only to save the words you meet to your review deck.
What happens if I slice the wrong word?
You lose a heart and your streak resets, and the screen tells you which word was right. The right word keeps flying, so you can still finish the clue — but it no longer counts as a clean clue.
What if the right word falls?
You lose a heart and the answer is read out, then the next clue starts. Wrong words that fall away cost nothing.
Can I play without a touch screen?
Yes. Drag with a mouse, or press the number keys 1 to 4 to slice the first to fourth word from the left that is in the air.
Can I practise one topic?
Yes. Use the theme picker to draw the words from a single category — animals, food, the home and more.
