Un autre mot pour 'crack'

C’est possible d’utiliser le mot, fente, au lieu de fissure ?  Je l’ai vu dans Wordreference, en particulier en référence aux murs.

Bonjour Frank,

"Fentes" generally refers to narrow openings or slits. It's more often used for intentional openings or gaps (like a mail slot in a door, or the slit in a piggy bank). "Fissures" is the most common and accurate word in this context. It specifically refers to cracks or splits in hard surfaces like walls, concrete, or rocks. Therefore, in this context, "fente" is not the best option.

I hope this is helpful.

Bonne journée !
