Word Lanes Level 6172 Answers
7 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 6172, part of the Levels 6101-6200 block. Level 6172 contains 7 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 among the hardest levels in the game, with obscure trivia and compound answers that reward the crossing-letter method. 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
PEPPERMINT 10 letters - "A round or cane-like red and white festive candy" is a straight definition, and PEPPERMINT is the word that matches. It is the longest answer in Level 6172, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.
EARDRUM 7 letters - the clue "Auditory membrane shaped like a cone" describes EARDRUM directly. It ties with BERLITZ for the shortest lane here; wait for crossings before committing.
BERLITZ 7 letters - "Language guides founded by German linguist in 1878" leads to BERLITZ by definition. EARDRUM in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
ELECTRON 8 letters - reading "Negatively charged particle, not a proton" literally points to ELECTRON. It begins with E and ends with N; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
KINGLEAR 8 letters - "Shakespeare's monarch with three daughters" is a straight definition, and KINGLEAR is the word that matches. It opens with an uncommon K, which makes it a strong anchor for the lanes it crosses.
DORMANT 7 letters - the clue "State of inactivity, volcanoes stay this way" describes DORMANT directly. It begins with D and ends with T; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
HOLEPUNCH 9 letters - "Tool for cutting two circles out of paper" leads to HOLEPUNCH by definition. It begins with H and ends with H; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
