Word Lanes Level 1716 Answers
11 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 1716, part of the Levels 1701-1800 block. Level 1716 contains 11 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
POW 3 letters - POW is a short, common word - the clue "Comic book punch exclamation" gives it away with a straight definition. It ties with FLY for the shortest lane here; wait for crossings before committing.
SHOWING 7 letters - the present participle ending narrows the options - "Displaying, exhibiting" leads to SHOWING. It ties with JOURNEY for the longest lane in Level 1716 at 7 letters, so either one opens up the most crossings.
FLY 3 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: FLY completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. At just 3 letters, it is a quick fill - the crossing letters from longer answers should confirm it.
GIG 3 letters - GIG is a short, common word - the clue "Live music or comedy show" gives it away with a straight definition. POW in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
DEBIT 5 letters - "Not a credit card, but the other kind" is a straight definition, and DEBIT is the word that matches. It begins with D and ends with T; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
YAM 3 letters - YAM is a short, common word - the clue "Sweet potato's cousin" gives it away with a straight definition. It opens with an uncommon Y, which makes it a strong anchor for the lanes it crosses.
SKI 3 letters - SKI is a short, common word - the clue "This patrol mans the slopes" gives it away with a straight definition. It begins with S and ends with I; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
JOURNEY 7 letters - reading "Trip, voyage" literally points to JOURNEY. It opens with an uncommon J, which makes it a strong anchor for the lanes it crosses.
MADONNA 7 letters - "US singer known for Lucky Star, Like a Prayer" is a straight definition, and MADONNA is the word that matches. The doubled N is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
TOAD 4 letters - the clue "Warty amphibian" describes TOAD directly. At just 4 letters, it is a quick fill - the crossing letters from longer answers should confirm it.
WAGS 4 letters - "Waves like a dog's tail" leads to WAGS by definition. It opens with an uncommon W, which makes it a strong anchor for the lanes it crosses.
