How to play
- Each puzzle shows four French words with no pictures — three are family and one comes from a different topic.

- The answer turns green and every card reveals its picture, and the intruder is read aloud.
- Spot the odd one out in six puzzles to finish the round.
Questions
Why are there no pictures until I answer?
A picture would give the answer away. Reading the French cold is the point: it makes you retrieve the meaning from memory, which is the step that actually builds recall.
How does this help me learn family in French?
Recognising that three words share a topic and a fourth doesn't means you have to know all four, not just one.
Is this French family game free?
