Word Lanes Level 1742 Answers

7 clues solved and verified

This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 1742, part of the Levels 1701-1800 block. Level 1742 contains 7 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.

Level 1742 Clues and Answers

ClueAnswer
Collection of sentences PARAGRAPH

Prepared dinner COOKED
Pull curtains or blinds open or shut DRAW

Word-by-Word Breakdown

PARAGRAPH 9 letters - "Collection of sentences" is a straight definition, and PARAGRAPH is the word that matches. It is the longest answer in Level 1742, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.

STEERING 8 letters - the present participle ending narrows the options - "Making a car go in a different direction" leads to STEERING. The doubled E is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.

PLANNING 8 letters - the present participle ending narrows the options - "Making a schedule for a list of tasks" leads to PLANNING. The doubled N is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.

XFILES 6 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Mulder and Scully investigate alien cases in the US" asks for more than one, and XFILES fits. It opens with an uncommon X, which makes it a strong anchor for the lanes it crosses.

COOKED 6 letters - the past tense ending narrows the options - "Prepared dinner" leads to COOKED. The doubled O is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.

DRAW 4 letters - the clue "Pull curtains or blinds open or shut" describes DRAW directly. It is the shortest lane here; leave it until the crossings make it obvious.

BEETLED 7 letters - the past tense ending narrows the options - "Scurried off in a hurry" leads to BEETLED. It begins with B and ends with D; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
