Word Lanes Level 172 Answers
8 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 172, part of the Levels 101-200 block. Level 172 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
SPIRIT 6 letters - "Another word for ghost or alcohol" is a straight definition, and SPIRIT is the word that matches. It ties with KIEDIS for the shortest lane here; wait for crossings before committing.
KIEDIS 6 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: KIEDIS completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It opens with an uncommon K, which makes it a strong anchor for the lanes it crosses.
KRYPTON 7 letters - "Chemical element with atomic number 36" leads to KRYPTON by definition. VILLAGE in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
MAGAZINE 8 letters - reading "Cosmopolitan, Vanity Fair or GQ, for example" literally points to MAGAZINE. It ties with LATITUDE for the longest lane in Level 172 at 8 letters, so either one opens up the most crossings.
VILLAGE 7 letters - "M. Night Shyamalan film about isolated community" is a straight definition, and VILLAGE is the word that matches. It opens with an uncommon V, which makes it a strong anchor for the lanes it crosses.
BIGMAC 6 letters - the clue "McDonald's iconic burger" describes BIGMAC directly. It begins with B and ends with C; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
LATITUDE 8 letters - "Parallel horizontal lines on a map represent this" leads to LATITUDE by definition. It begins with L and ends with E; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
CHARMING 8 letters - the present participle ending narrows the options - "The type of prince most women want" leads to CHARMING. It begins with C and ends with G; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
