Word Lanes Level 1717 Answers
8 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 1717, part of the Levels 1701-1800 block. Level 1717 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
SPECTRUM 8 letters - "A wide range, distribution of light e.g. a rainbow" is a straight definition, and SPECTRUM is the word that matches. It is the longest answer in Level 1717, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.
SMASHED 7 letters - the past tense ending narrows the options - "Broke into a million bits" leads to SMASHED. BOBTAIL in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
BOBTAIL 7 letters - "Donggyeongi, a Korean breed of dog" leads to BOBTAIL by definition. It begins with B and ends with L; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
RENTED 6 letters - the past tense ending narrows the options - "Hired a cottage" leads to RENTED. It is the shortest lane here; leave it until the crossings make it obvious.
BOGGING 7 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: BOGGING completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. The doubled G is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
BROGUES 7 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Shoes with hole patterns at the front" asks for more than one, and BROGUES fits. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.
INFIDEL 7 letters - "Term for non-believers means "unfaithful"" leads to INFIDEL by definition. It begins with I and ends with L; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
TEACHER 7 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: TEACHER completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It begins with T and ends with R; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
