Word Lanes Level 5170 Answers
8 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 5170, part of the Levels 5101-5200 block. Level 5170 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 are advanced levels, leaning on cultural references, lateral thinking, and longer answers. 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
ACCOUNTANCY 11 letters - "Book-keeping" is a straight definition, and ACCOUNTANCY is the word that matches. It is the longest answer in Level 5170, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.
SKATES 6 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Footwear that can be ice, roller or inline" asks for more than one, and SKATES fits. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.
RELIEF 6 letters - "Governments often send this after a disaster" leads to RELIEF by definition. SKATES in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
VALERIAN 8 letters - reading "Herb used to promote sleep in alternative medicine" literally points to VALERIAN. It opens with an uncommon V, which makes it a strong anchor for the lanes it crosses.
DESCRIPTOR 10 letters - "Phrase that adds detail to help identify a noun" is a straight definition, and DESCRIPTOR is the word that matches. At 10 letters this is a long lane - place it early to unlock the maximum number of crossings.
LOWERING 8 letters - Word Lanes strips the space, so LOWERING 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.
CHEESECAKE 10 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: CHEESECAKE completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. The doubled E is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
TWANG 5 letters - reading "The sound of a string being plucked" literally points to TWANG. It is the shortest lane here; leave it until the crossings make it obvious.
