Word Lanes Level 3539 Answers

SOUTHAMERICA 12 letters - "Continent you'd find Brazil in" is a straight definition, and SOUTHAMERICA is the word that matches. It ties with OVERFAMILIAR for the longest lane in Level 3539 at 12 letters, so either one opens up the most crossings.

ACCOMPLICES 11 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Criminal assistants" asks for more than one, and ACCOMPLICES fits. The doubled C is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.

PIE 3 letters - PIE is a short, common word - the clue "Dish with a pastry crust, e.g. filled with apple" gives it away with a straight definition. It is the shortest lane here; leave it until the crossings make it obvious.

ORCA 4 letters - reading "Free Willy's titular animal is one" literally points to ORCA. At just 4 letters, it is a quick fill - the crossing letters from longer answers should confirm it.

GEIGER 6 letters - "German physicist who discovered the atomic nucleus" is a straight definition, and GEIGER is the word that matches. NICELY in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.

THETA 5 letters - the clue "Letter th in the Greek alphabet" describes THETA directly. It begins with T and ends with A; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.

NICELY 6 letters - the adverb ending narrows the options - "Neatly, tidily, in a pleasant or friendly way" leads to NICELY. It begins with N and ends with Y; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.

OVERFAMILIAR 12 letters - Word Lanes strips the space, so OVERFAMILIAR goes into the lane as one unbroken run of 12 letters. No visible gap in the lane, so count the full 12 boxes before guessing.

ANTIS 5 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Those individuals who are against a proposal" asks for more than one, and ANTIS fits. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.
