    "Fils" (son) is pronounced FISS

    "Fil(s)" (thread/cable/wire) is pronounced FIL

        Back-translation "ma souris n'a pas de fil".

        The word taught is "sans" and "sans fil" is fixed to mean "wireless".

          In English one could say: my mouse is without cord, or my mouse is wireless. Why does Duo not understand: my mouse is without cord? would you need to say.. ma souris est dans cordon?

          Er no that's not what a native English speaker would say. Cordless or wireless yes, but not 'without cord'
