Word Lanes Level 1247 Answers
9 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 1247, part of the Levels 1201-1300 block. Level 1247 contains 9 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
LEADERS 7 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Athletes near the front of the race" asks for more than one, and LEADERS fits. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.
BELGIUM 7 letters - the clue "Country where the Battle of Waterloo was fought" describes BELGIUM directly. LEADERS in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
WREATH 6 letters - "Decorative ring of evergreen boughs for the winter" leads to WREATH by definition. It ties with PESTER for the shortest lane here; wait for crossings before committing.
SCORNED 7 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: SCORNED completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It begins with S and ends with D; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
CLARKSON 8 letters - "Kelly who hosts talk show, sings Since U Been Gone" is a straight definition, and CLARKSON is the word that matches. It begins with C and ends with N; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
PROTECT 7 letters - the clue "Look after or defend" describes PROTECT directly. It begins with P and ends with T; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
FRESHLY 7 letters - the adverb ending narrows the options - "Recently, newly" leads to FRESHLY. It begins with F and ends with Y; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
STRAPLINE 9 letters - reading "Subhead in a newspaper article" literally points to STRAPLINE. It is the longest answer in Level 1247, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.
PESTER 6 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: PESTER completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It begins with P and ends with R; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
