On level 3 of this course there is “la hauteur” for “height”; could an alternate answer please be put in - by whomever is looking after this course. The alternate answer I’m suggesting is: “l’hauteur”. Merci beaucoup. Here is the link to that level: https://www.memrise.com/course/33/introductory-french-vocab/3/

Actually, that would be incorrect. la hauteur is correct.
One has to memorize the exceptions to the rules:

Thanks for the explanation Lurajane - I’ll just have to learn that AND remember it. I feel as though I’ve seen l’hauteur many times (possibly by others making the same mistake). Thank you once again.

Coralie’s courses, as curated by Cos, are very, very high quality. I do like Memrise’s official courses, especially their meet-the-natives features, but I do think much more time and effort has gone into the Coralie Introductory and Intermediate courses.

Yes I like them too. I did the Introductory course when I first started with Memrise and just recently did review when “la hauteur” came up again and once again I got caught out (thinking it was l’hauteur). I don’t think I’ll forget that one again!
