Frequently Asked Questions
What is the CEFR scale?
The Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) is an international standard for describing language ability. It ranges from A1 (beginner) to C2 (proficiency), with each level representing a clear set of skills and vocabulary.
How do I know my CEFR level?
If you can introduce yourself and ask simple questions, you are likely A1-A2. If you can handle most travel situations and describe experiences, you are B1-B2. If you can express complex ideas fluently, you are C1-C2.
Can I try a level above mine?
Absolutely! Trying harder puzzles is a great way to learn new vocabulary. Use the Reveal Word feature when you get stuck, and review the revealed words afterward.
Are the crosswords different each time?
