Word Lanes Level 1696 Answers
8 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 1696, part of the Levels 1601-1700 block. Level 1696 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
STARING 7 letters - the present participle ending narrows the options - "Looking at someone for too long, gawking" leads to STARING. It ties with POSTBOX for the longest lane in Level 1696 at 7 letters, so either one opens up the most crossings.
ARTIST 6 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: ARTIST completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. ERASER in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
POSTBOX 7 letters - "Receptacle for mail" leads to POSTBOX by definition. It begins with P and ends with X; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
ERASER 6 letters - reading "Use this to get rid of pencil marks" literally points to ERASER. It begins with E and ends with R; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
NOTION 6 letters - "Vague or imperfect idea about something" is a straight definition, and NOTION is the word that matches. It begins with N and ends with N; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
BOOKS 5 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Works of literature" asks for more than one, and BOOKS fits. It ties with CHICK for the shortest lane here; wait for crossings before committing.
CHICK 5 letters - "Young animal in a nest" leads to CHICK by definition. It begins with C and ends with K; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
KNOTTED 7 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: KNOTTED completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It opens with an uncommon K, which makes it a strong anchor for the lanes it crosses.
