I learned this from playing Dragon Quest so I am kind of surprised its so high up in the levels.

Yeah it doesn’t seem like a difficult kanji and “omen” is even easier. Maybe they wanted to give us a freebie by putting an easy one in the second half?

I think フレ means friend info in the video game sense, like: 先生とフレを交換してたゲームの。(I’m not sure that’s an entirely correct sentence, 日本語苦手だから, but it’s just to illustrate what it means, feel free to correct me)

I mean, you have フレンド and フレコ from フレンドコード. フレ as a further abbreviation of that makes sense. But where did you get it from?

分析(ぶんせき)ー analysis
手段(しゅだん)ー means; way; measure​ (This one I took the measure meaning too literally and just learned its like “by way of” so now I feel like I need to reread every book I read in the last 8 months xD)
