Kiosque, c'est un kiosque de jeux de mots renouvelé chaque jour, pensé pour les amoureux de la langue française. Treize jeux, un par jour, tous différents : Trame : dénichez les mots cachés dans une grille, dont le mot-araignée qui résume le thème. Familles : regroupez seize mots en quatre familles cachées. Mini croisés : résolvez une petite grille de mots croisés. Le compte est bon : atteignez le nombre cible à partir de six nombres donnés. Calculs croisés : complétez une grille d'équations avec les bons nombres. Consonne, Voyelle : trouvez le mot le plus long possible à partir de dix lettres. Devinette : approchez un mot secret grâce à des indices de proximité. Charabia : décodez un oronyme, ces phrases qui sonnent comme d'autres mots. Éclair : répondez vite à des calculs mentaux avant que le temps ne s'épuise. Graine : faites germer un mot lettre après lettre. Racine : trouvez le radical commun à trois mots. Camouflage : repérez le mot caché parmi des lettres semblables. Échelle : passez d'un mot à un autre en changeant une lettre à la fois. Une nouvelle grille par jeu, chaque jour, comme un journal qu'on retrouve avec plaisir. Une partie gratuite quotidienne suffit pour découvrir chaque jeu ; l'abonnement retire la publicité et débloque l'archive complète des jours précédents, pour continuer un puzzle manqué quand vous le souhaitez. Simple à prendre en main, exigeant pour les curieux, Kiosque se glisse dans les cinq minutes du matin comme dans une pause plus longue le soir.
