De peur que or de crainte que

When writing the answers to the question I seem to be wrong every time. If I use de peur que the answer shows as de crainte que, if I use de crainte que it shows as de peur que. I’m struggling to tell the difference.

There is no difference, Wendy, but I do notice that some of the examples do not accept 'de crainte que', so I will bring this to the attention of the French team.

Thank you for pointing this out.
