Word Lanes Level 517 Answers
7 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 517, part of the Levels 501-600 block. Level 517 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.

Word-by-Word Breakdown
TAILBACK 8 letters - "A traffic jam, especially on a motorway" is a straight definition, and TAILBACK is the word that matches. FULLMOON in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
FULLMOON 8 letters - Word Lanes strips the space, so FULLMOON goes into the lane as one unbroken run of 8 letters. The doubled L is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
DRESSAGE 8 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: DRESSAGE completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. The doubled S is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
VINELEAF 8 letters - reading "Essential wrapper for a dolmade" literally points to VINELEAF. It opens with an uncommon V, which makes it a strong anchor for the lanes it crosses.
COLUMN 6 letters - "Long line of marching soldiers" is a straight definition, and COLUMN is the word that matches. It is the shortest lane here; leave it until the crossings make it obvious.
ACOUSTICS 9 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Physics branch concerning the properties of sound" asks for more than one, and ACOUSTICS fits. It ties with ELBOWPADS for the longest lane in Level 517 at 9 letters, so either one opens up the most crossings.
ELBOWPADS 9 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Protection for skateboarders' arm joints" asks for more than one, and ELBOWPADS fits. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.
