Word Lanes Level 8171 Answers
8 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 8171, part of the Levels 8101-8200 block. Level 8171 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 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
IMPOSTER 8 letters - "A person who is not who they say they are" is a straight definition, and IMPOSTER is the word that matches. It ties with MATCHBOX for the longest lane in Level 8171 at 8 letters, so either one opens up the most crossings.
MATCHBOX 8 letters - the clue "Die-cast vehicles first sold in cardboard packs" describes MATCHBOX directly. IMPOSTER in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
CONNICK 7 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: CONNICK completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. The doubled N is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
MAXIMAL 7 letters - reading "Highest or best possible" literally points to MAXIMAL. It begins with M and ends with L; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
FOUNTAIN 8 letters - "Nib pen containing an internal supply of ink" is a straight definition, and FOUNTAIN is the word that matches. It begins with F and ends with N; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
NOODLE 6 letters - the clue "Slang for head, or a stir-fry pasta" describes NOODLE directly. It ties with PETTED for the shortest lane here; wait for crossings before committing.
PETTED 6 letters - the past tense ending narrows the options - "Stroked (e.g. a dog or a cat)" leads to PETTED. The doubled T is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
VARGAS 6 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Venezuela state hit by severe mudslides in 1999" asks for more than one, and VARGAS fits. It opens with an uncommon V, which makes it a strong anchor for the lanes it crosses.
