Word Lanes Level 717 Answers
13 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 717, part of the Levels 701-800 block. Level 717 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
SEVENTEEN 9 letters - "A fifth of 85" is a straight definition, and SEVENTEEN is the word that matches. It is the longest answer in Level 717, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.
SOAP 4 letters - the clue "A liquid or bar for washing things like the body" describes SOAP directly. At just 4 letters, it is a quick fill - the crossing letters from longer answers should confirm it.
MOB 3 letters - MOB is a short, common word - the clue "Crowd or swarm round someone" gives it away with a straight definition. It ties with EBB for the shortest lane here; wait for crossings before committing.
YUMMY 5 letters - reading "Delicious or tasty" literally points to YUMMY. It opens with an uncommon Y, which makes it a strong anchor for the lanes it crosses.
TUNA 4 letters - "Fish that's usually canned" is a straight definition, and TUNA is the word that matches. SOAP in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
EBB 3 letters - EBB is a short, common word - the clue "Flow's tidal partner" gives it away with a straight definition. The doubled B is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
NUDITY 6 letters - "Nakedness" leads to NUDITY by definition. It begins with N and ends with Y; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
TAG 3 letters - TAG is a short, common word - the clue "Playground game of run and catch" 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.
BABY 4 letters - "Rock-a-bye child in the lullaby" is a straight definition, and BABY is the word that matches. It begins with B and ends with Y; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
CON 3 letters - CON is a short, common word - the clue "Short name for a prisoner" gives it away with a straight definition. It begins with C and ends with N; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
SAM 3 letters - SAM is a short, common word - the clue "The US government is nicknamed Uncle this" gives it away with a straight definition. It begins with S and ends with M; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
SEW 3 letters - SEW is a short, common word - the clue "This circle sits using thread and needle together" gives it away with a straight definition. It begins with S and ends with W; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
