OYSTER 6 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: OYSTER completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It ties with FASCIA for the shortest lane here; wait for crossings before committing.

EXTORTED 8 letters - the past tense ending narrows the options - "Demanded money by force" leads to EXTORTED. It begins with E and ends with D; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.

TURKISH 7 letters - reading "Fry's produce this pink-wrappered delight" literally points to TURKISH. DASSLER in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
