Word Lanes Level 117 Answers
8 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 117, part of the Levels 101-200 block. Level 117 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
OBTUSE 6 letters - "An angle greater than 90 degrees" is a straight definition, and OBTUSE is the word that matches. It ties with COFFEE for the shortest lane here; wait for crossings before committing.
BOTTOMRY 8 letters - the clue "Fund a voyage with your ship as collateral" describes BOTTOMRY directly. It ties with LANCELOT for the longest lane in Level 117 at 8 letters, so either one opens up the most crossings.
LANCELOT 8 letters - "Grail Knight, played by Python John Cleese" leads to LANCELOT by definition. BOTTOMRY in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
URUGUAY 7 letters - reading "Host country of inaugural FIFA World Cup in 1930" literally points to URUGUAY. It begins with U and ends with Y; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
COFFEE 6 letters - "Java, joe" is a straight definition, and COFFEE is the word that matches. The doubled F is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
THOMAS 6 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Sean Connery's real first name" asks for more than one, and THOMAS fits. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.
PAYMENT 7 letters - "The exchange of money for goods or services" leads to PAYMENT by definition. It begins with P and ends with T; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
PRESSURE 8 letters - reading "This aspect of your blood rises and falls" literally points to PRESSURE. The doubled S is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
