Word Lanes Level 5560 Answers

CLAIMTOFAME 11 letters - "A person's reason for being well-known" is a straight definition, and CLAIMTOFAME is the word that matches. It is the longest answer in Level 5560, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.

GIBSON 6 letters - the clue "Desert of West Australia with Lake Disappointment" describes GIBSON directly. It begins with G and ends with N; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.

UNEVENBARS 10 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Gymnastics event with asymmetric apparatus" asks for more than one, and UNEVENBARS fits. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.

THEANNEX 8 letters - reading "Historic Toronto area where Margaret Atwood lives" literally points to THEANNEX. The doubled N is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.

IPA 3 letters - IPA is a short, common word - the clue "International Phonetic Alphabet, in short" gives it away with a straight definition. It is the shortest lane here; leave it until the crossings make it obvious.

CYBER 5 letters - the clue "Monday after Black Friday, for online deals" describes CYBER directly. SLOOP in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.

WATERGATE 9 letters - Word Lanes strips the space, so WATERGATE goes into the lane as one unbroken run of 9 letters. It opens with an uncommon W, which makes it a strong anchor for the lanes it crosses.

SLOOP 5 letters - reading "Sailing boat with a single mast" literally points to SLOOP. The doubled O is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.

LANGUID 7 letters - "Slow-moving, lacking in energy" is a straight definition, and LANGUID is the word that matches. It begins with L and ends with D; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
