Word Lanes Level 2966 Answers

BRUIT 5 letters - "Another word for a vascular murmur" is a straight definition, and BRUIT is the word that matches. MONEY in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.

MONEY 5 letters - the clue "Dire Straits got this for nothing, chicks for free" describes MONEY directly. It begins with M and ends with Y; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.

CONTAINED 9 letters - the past tense ending narrows the options - "Held inside" leads to CONTAINED. It begins with C and ends with D; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.

TISSUEPAPER 11 letters - reading "Lightweight crepe craft material" literally points to TISSUEPAPER. It is the longest answer in Level 2966, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.

HARPIES 7 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Mythological beasts that are half-woman/half-eagle" asks for more than one, and HARPIES fits. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.

LANDSCAPE 9 letters - Word Lanes strips the space, so LANDSCAPE goes into the lane as one unbroken run of 9 letters. No visible gap in the lane, so count the full 9 boxes before guessing.

SUSPENSE 8 letters - "State of anxious uncertainty or excitement" leads to SUSPENSE by definition. It begins with S and ends with E; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.

BIRO 4 letters - reading "Surname of the inventor of the ballpoint pen" literally points to BIRO. It is the shortest lane here; leave it until the crossings make it obvious.

BOOMER 6 letters - "Woodpecker friend to Dinky, The Fox and the Hound" is a straight definition, and BOOMER is the word that matches. The doubled O is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
