Word Lanes Level 2423 Answers

TEMPLE 6 letters - "A building devoted to religious worship" is a straight definition, and TEMPLE is the word that matches. RAKING in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.

TREEFORT 8 letters - the clue "Childhood arboreal manor" describes TREEFORT directly. The doubled E is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.

STEPHEN 7 letters - "First name of US horror movies author" leads to STEPHEN by definition. It begins with S and ends with N; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.

SAMOA 5 letters - reading "Group of Polynesian islands northeast of Australia" literally points to SAMOA. It is the shortest lane here; leave it until the crossings make it obvious.

DEALERS 7 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Professional casino employees" asks for more than one, and DEALERS fits. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.

FORTKNOX 8 letters - Word Lanes strips the space, so FORTKNOX goes into the lane as one unbroken run of 8 letters. No visible gap in the lane, so count the full 8 boxes before guessing.

RAKING 6 letters - the present participle ending narrows the options - "Tidying fallen leaves" leads to RAKING. It begins with R and ends with G; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.

JAMESCOOK 9 letters - reading "Whitby sailor made three major Pacific voyages" literally points to JAMESCOOK. It is the longest answer in Level 2423, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.
