Word Lanes Level 525 Answers

RUSSIA 6 letters - "Home of the Cossacks and Bolshoi Ballet" is a straight definition, and RUSSIA is the word that matches. The doubled S is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.

CORK 4 letters - the clue "Large Irish city, in Munster province" describes CORK directly. At just 4 letters, it is a quick fill - the crossing letters from longer answers should confirm it.

ARWEN 5 letters - "Liv Tyler's Half-Elven Lord of the Rings character" leads to ARWEN by definition. MOUTH in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.

MALFUNCTIONS 12 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Mechanical errors" asks for more than one, and MALFUNCTIONS fits. It ties with ANKYLOSAURUS for the longest lane in Level 525 at 12 letters, so either one opens up the most crossings.

ANKYLOSAURUS 12 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Plated dinosaur with a tail meant for clubbing" asks for more than one, and ANKYLOSAURUS fits. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.

SHRIMP 6 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: SHRIMP completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It begins with S and ends with P; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.

FORRESTGUMP 11 letters - Word Lanes strips the space, so FORRESTGUMP goes into the lane as one unbroken run of 11 letters. The doubled R is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.

WEB 3 letters - WEB is a short, common word - the clue "The internet is a world wide one" gives it away with a straight definition. It is the shortest lane here; leave it until the crossings make it obvious.

MOUTH 5 letters - "Where a river ends and opens up into the sea" is a straight definition, and MOUTH is the word that matches. It begins with M and ends with H; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
