Word Lanes Level 1253 Answers

YELLOW 6 letters - "Color of Spongebob Squarepants" is a straight definition, and YELLOW is the word that matches. It opens with an uncommon Y, which makes it a strong anchor for the lanes it crosses.

AVANTGARDE 10 letters - the clue "Experimental or cutting edge" describes AVANTGARDE directly. It is the longest answer in Level 1253, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.

ANCIENT 7 letters - "From the distant past" leads to ANCIENT by definition. It begins with A and ends with T; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.

PIPES 5 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: PIPES completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It is the shortest lane here; leave it until the crossings make it obvious.

OKLAHOMA 8 letters - "Pan-shaped state bordering Texas on the north" is a straight definition, and OKLAHOMA is the word that matches. PRODUCER in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.

PRODUCER 8 letters - the clue "Person who secures finance for a movie" describes PRODUCER directly. It begins with P and ends with R; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.

FOOTWEAR 8 letters - Word Lanes strips the space, so FOOTWEAR goes into the lane as one unbroken run of 8 letters. The doubled O is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.

WORKER 6 letters - reading "Someone who gets hired to do a job" literally points to WORKER. It opens with an uncommon W, which makes it a strong anchor for the lanes it crosses.

PHOTOS 6 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Take these with a phone camera to save memories" asks for more than one, and PHOTOS fits. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.
