Word Lanes Level 111 Answers

EGG 3 letters - EGG is a short, common word - the clue "Coax on, encourage" gives it away with a straight definition. It ties with LAX for the shortest lane here; wait for crossings before committing.

WELLBEING 9 letters - Word Lanes strips the space, so WELLBEING goes into the lane as one unbroken run of 9 letters. It ties with PAYPACKET for the longest lane in Level 111 at 9 letters, so either one opens up the most crossings.

PAYPACKET 9 letters - "Envelope containing salary" leads to PAYPACKET by definition. WELLBEING in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.

SHREDS 6 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Tiny ripped up pieces of paper" asks for more than one, and SHREDS fits. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.

LAX 3 letters - LAX is a short, common word - the clue "Too loose, not sufficiently strict" gives it away with a straight definition. At just 3 letters, it is a quick fill - the crossing letters from longer answers should confirm it.

GAG 3 letters - GAG is a short, common word - the clue "Type of order that prevents one from talking" gives it away with a straight definition. It begins with G and ends with G; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.

HOTWATER 8 letters - "Warm liquid from the shower head" leads to HOTWATER by definition. It begins with H and ends with R; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.

CUEBALL 7 letters - reading "White game-playing sphere in snooker or pool" literally points to CUEBALL. The doubled L is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.

KNEADING 8 letters - the present participle ending narrows the options - "Working bread dough with the hands" leads to KNEADING. It opens with an uncommon K, which makes it a strong anchor for the lanes it crosses.
