Word Lanes Level 1017 Answers
8 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 1017, part of the Levels 1001-1100 block. Level 1017 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
DIABETES 8 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Anagram of "a side bet", a very prevalent disease" asks for more than one, and DIABETES fits. It ties with HIVEMIND for the longest lane in Level 1017 at 8 letters, so either one opens up the most crossings.
HIVEMIND 8 letters - the clue "Collective intelligence" describes HIVEMIND directly. DIABETES in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
PETTISH 7 letters - "Ill-humoured, grumpy" leads to PETTISH by definition. The doubled T is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
MUFFIN 6 letters - reading "Individual sponge cake, breakfast item" literally points to MUFFIN. It ties with GLOVES for the shortest lane here; wait for crossings before committing.
GLOVES 6 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: GLOVES completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.
PUDDLE 6 letters - the clue "Splash in this during a rainstorm" describes PUDDLE directly. The doubled D is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
CURDLED 7 letters - the past tense ending narrows the options - "Spoiled, e.g. lumpy milk" leads to CURDLED. It begins with C and ends with D; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
FREEZING 8 letters - the present participle ending narrows the options - "Turning to solids from liquids at low temperatures" leads to FREEZING. The doubled E is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
