Word Lanes Level 6740 Answers

LONDON 6 letters - "2012 Apologies, I Have None album" is a straight definition, and LONDON is the word that matches. PLIERS in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.

DISTRAUGHT 10 letters - the clue "A word that means agitated or very upset" describes DISTRAUGHT directly. It is the longest answer in Level 6740, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.

RAVEN 5 letters - "Bird that pestered Poe" leads to RAVEN by definition. It is the shortest lane here; leave it until the crossings make it obvious.

DRESSAGE 8 letters - reading "First element of the equestrian three-day event" literally points to DRESSAGE. The doubled S is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.

GELATINE 8 letters - "Gelling agent used in cookery, made from collagen" is a straight definition, and GELATINE is the word that matches. It begins with G and ends with E; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.

PLIERS 6 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Hand tool for grasping and turning wires or pipes" asks for more than one, and PLIERS fits. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.
