Word Lanes Level 1704 Answers

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

SLAMDUNK 8 letters - the clue "Basketball analogy for a shot that's a dead cert" describes SLAMDUNK directly. It begins with S and ends with K; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.

TACKY 5 letters - "Cheap, gaudy" leads to TACKY by definition. LATER in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.

RIBBONS 7 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Girls tie these in their hair" asks for more than one, and RIBBONS fits. The doubled B is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.

LATER 5 letters - "Not immediately, after a while" is a straight definition, and LATER is the word that matches. It begins with L and ends with R; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.

PRICKS 6 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Pierces with a needle" asks for more than one, and PRICKS fits. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.

PLACED 6 letters - the past tense ending narrows the options - "Put somewhere" leads to PLACED. It begins with P and ends with D; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.

PASSAGE 7 letters - reading "Someone secures this when they buy a plane ticket" literally points to PASSAGE. The doubled S is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.

HONEYCOMB 9 letters - "Waxy beehive cells where golden stuff is stored" is a straight definition, and HONEYCOMB is the word that matches. It is the longest answer in Level 1704, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.
