Word Lanes Level 171 Answers
8 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 171, part of the Levels 101-200 block. Level 171 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
ILOVELUCY 9 letters - "Famous sitcom with funny lead lady, Cuban husband" is a straight definition, and ILOVELUCY is the word that matches. It is the longest answer in Level 171, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.
WINCED 6 letters - the past tense ending narrows the options - "Grimaced, flinched, recoiled" leads to WINCED. It opens with an uncommon W, which makes it a strong anchor for the lanes it crosses.
PIAZZA 6 letters - "Italian city square, e.g. San Marco in Venice" leads to PIAZZA by definition. The doubled Z is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
CIDER 5 letters - reading "Like apple juice, but murkier" literally points to CIDER. It is the shortest lane here; leave it until the crossings make it obvious.
BROCCOLI 8 letters - "Romanesco style green veggie with spiraled buds" is a straight definition, and BROCCOLI is the word that matches. The doubled C is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
FIENNES 7 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Surname of UK acting brothers Ralph and Joseph" asks for more than one, and FIENNES fits. The doubled N is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
AFFAIRS 7 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: AFFAIRS completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. The doubled F is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
PENDULUM 8 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: PENDULUM completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. BROCCOLI in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
