Word Lanes Level 697 Answers
8 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 697, part of the Levels 601-700 block. Level 697 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
COMPUTER 8 letters - "A device which can store and process data" is a straight definition, and COMPUTER is the word that matches. It ties with CALAMARI for the longest lane in Level 697 at 8 letters, so either one opens up the most crossings.
EARFUL 6 letters - the clue "A loud, angry reprimand" describes EARFUL directly. It ties with ROOSTS for the shortest lane here; wait for crossings before committing.
DEGRADE 7 letters - "Atrophy, weaken" leads to DEGRADE by definition. WINKING in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
WINKING 7 letters - the present participle ending narrows the options - "Blinking one eye" leads to WINKING. It opens with an uncommon W, which makes it a strong anchor for the lanes it crosses.
CALAMARI 8 letters - "Dish of fried squid, anagram of "a lima car"" is a straight definition, and CALAMARI is the word that matches. It begins with C and ends with I; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
BLUESMAN 8 letters - the clue "Exponent of the music of the Southern US" describes BLUESMAN directly. It begins with B and ends with N; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
ROOSTS 6 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Places where birds rest at night" asks for more than one, and ROOSTS fits. The doubled O is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
DRIVER 6 letters - reading "You give directions to one in a taxi" literally points to DRIVER. It begins with D and ends with R; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
