Word Lanes Level 8517 Answers
11 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 8517, part of the Levels 8501-8600 block. Level 8517 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 are among the hardest levels in the game, with obscure trivia and compound answers that reward the crossing-letter method. 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
CWT 3 letters - CWT is a short, common word - the clue "Abbreviation for hundredweight" gives it away with a straight definition. It ties with GAL for the shortest lane here; wait for crossings before committing.
LEWIS 5 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Actress Juliette, star of Cape Fear and Kalifornia" asks for more than one, and LEWIS fits. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.
ULNA 4 letters - "Anatomical partner of a radius" leads to ULNA by definition. At just 4 letters, it is a quick fill - the crossing letters from longer answers should confirm it.
KEPT 4 letters - reading "Maintained, did not dispose of" literally points to KEPT. It opens with an uncommon K, which makes it a strong anchor for the lanes it crosses.
FILM 4 letters - "Movie" is a straight definition, and FILM is the word that matches. ULNA in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
GAL 3 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: GAL 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.
RETIRED 7 letters - the past tense ending narrows the options - "Stopped working officially" leads to RETIRED. It begins with R and ends with D; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
LENTILS 7 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Tiny discs used in soups and curries" asks for more than one, and LENTILS fits. It begins with L and ends with S; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
GRAPES 6 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "White or red oval-shaped fruits grown on vines" asks for more than one, and GRAPES fits. It begins with G and ends with S; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
RIDE 4 letters - the clue "You can do this on horseback or motorbike" describes RIDE directly. It begins with R and ends with E; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
BROKEBACK 9 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: BROKEBACK completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It is the longest answer in Level 8517, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.
