Word Lanes Level 272 Answers
13 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 272, part of the Levels 201-300 block. Level 272 contains 13 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
PAS 3 letters - PAS is a short, common word - the clue "Ballet step" gives it away with a straight definition. It ties with OMD for the shortest lane here; wait for crossings before committing.
OMD 3 letters - OMD is a short, common word - the clue "Band aka Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark" gives it away with a straight definition. At just 3 letters, it is a quick fill - the crossing letters from longer answers should confirm it.
WREATHS 7 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Circular floral decorations, e.g. in memorial" asks for more than one, and WREATHS fits. It opens with an uncommon W, which makes it a strong anchor for the lanes it crosses.
FOR 3 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: FOR completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. PAS in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
HALE 4 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: HALE completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. At just 4 letters, it is a quick fill - the crossing letters from longer answers should confirm it.
END 3 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: END completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It begins with E and ends with D; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
HAM 3 letters - HAM is a short, common word - the clue "Meat Dr. Seuss served with his green eggs" gives it away with a straight definition. It begins with H and ends with M; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
HBO 3 letters - HBO is a short, common word - the clue "Network that produces Succession and Westworld" gives it away with a straight definition. It begins with H and ends with O; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
BUTTERNUT 9 letters - "Orange squash soup ingredient with a long neck" is a straight definition, and BUTTERNUT is the word that matches. It is the longest answer in Level 272, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.
CABIN 5 letters - the clue "Part of a plane where the public sit" describes CABIN directly. It begins with C and ends with N; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
STOVES 6 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Portable gas heaters for warming food" asks for more than one, and STOVES fits. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.
TUT 3 letters - TUT is a short, common word - the clue "Sound of disapproval, accompanied by a head shake" gives it away with a straight definition. It begins with T and ends with T; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
