Word Lanes Level 1272 Answers
8 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 1272, part of the Levels 1201-1300 block. Level 1272 contains 8 clues, each one solved and then typed back into the live Fanatee Inc app so that every answer on this page matches the word the game actually accepts. These sit in the intermediate band, where the order turns random, clues start using wordplay, and multi-word answers appear. Below you will find each clue paired with its exact answer in a clean two-column table, followed by a word-by-word breakdown that explains why each solution fits its lane, how long it is, and which letters it hands to the crossing clues. If a lane is fighting you, start with the longest answer in the level: it releases the most crossing letters and usually collapses the rest of the stack. Because Word Lanes randomises level order per player after Level 12, the number printed on your screen may not be the number here - if the clues below are not the ones you are looking at, use the Clue Search Tool and type any word from your clue instead of hunting by number.

Word-by-Word Breakdown
POIROT 6 letters - "Agatha Christie's famous Belgian detective" is a straight definition, and POIROT is the word that matches. DRILLS in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
POUND 5 letters - the clue "Beat and batter food to a powder" describes POUND directly. It is the shortest lane here; leave it until the crossings make it obvious.
ORANGES 7 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Citruses that famously don't rhyme with anything" asks for more than one, and ORANGES fits. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.
BLUBBER 7 letters - reading "Fat from a whale" literally points to BLUBBER. The doubled B is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
DRILLS 6 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Repeated exercises or tools used to make holes" asks for more than one, and DRILLS fits. The doubled L is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
GENEKELLY 9 letters - the adverb ending narrows the options - "Singin' in the Rain star" leads to GENEKELLY. It ties with STFRANCIS for the longest lane in Level 1272 at 9 letters, so either one opens up the most crossings.
SPANISH 7 letters - "The official language of Cuba, Peru and Mexico" leads to SPANISH by definition. It begins with S and ends with H; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
STFRANCIS 9 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: STFRANCIS completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It begins with S and ends with S; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
