Word Lanes Level 8917 Answers
7 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 8917, part of the Levels 8901-9000 block. Level 8917 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 are among the hardest levels in the game, with obscure trivia and compound answers that reward the crossing-letter method. 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
DESPOTS 7 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Autocratic rulers" asks for more than one, and DESPOTS fits. It ties with BLENDER for the shortest lane here; wait for crossings before committing.
CLIVEDEN 8 letters - the clue "Berkshire mansion and former royal residence" describes CLIVEDEN directly. PAOLOZZI in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
ANDBOUNDS 9 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: ANDBOUNDS completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It ties with JUDYBLUME for the longest lane in Level 8917 at 9 letters, so either one opens up the most crossings.
PAOLOZZI 8 letters - reading "His artwork BASH featured Marilyn and JFK" literally points to PAOLOZZI. The doubled Z is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
NAUTICAL 8 letters - "Maritime, concerning sailors or navigation" is a straight definition, and NAUTICAL is the word that matches. It begins with N and ends with L; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
BLENDER 7 letters - the clue "Whizzy kitchen appliance for emulsifying potions" describes BLENDER directly. It begins with B and ends with R; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
JUDYBLUME 9 letters - "Young adult author of Blubber and Deenie" leads to JUDYBLUME by definition. It opens with an uncommon J, which makes it a strong anchor for the lanes it crosses.
