Word Lanes Level 116 Answers
11 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 116, part of the Levels 101-200 block. Level 116 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
ATM 3 letters - ATM is a short, common word - the clue "A device that gives money using a bank card" gives it away with a straight definition. It ties with CIA for the shortest lane here; wait for crossings before committing.
CIA 3 letters - CIA is a short, common word - the clue "America's Central Intelligence Agency" 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.
SLY 3 letters - SLY is a short, common word - the clue "Cunning like a fox" gives it away with a straight definition. ATM in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
SALUTE 6 letters - reading "Hand gesture of respect to an arriving soldier" literally points to SALUTE. It begins with S and ends with E; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
LOW 3 letters - LOW is a short, common word - the clue "Not high" gives it away with a straight definition. It begins with L and ends with W; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
FRAUD 5 letters - the clue "Person who pretends to be someone else to trick" describes FRAUD directly. It begins with F and ends with D; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
STROBING 8 letters - the present participle ending narrows the options - "Pulsating light, can affect epileptics" leads to STROBING. It is the longest answer in Level 116, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.
HEXAGON 7 letters - reading "Six-sided shape" literally points to HEXAGON. It begins with H and ends with N; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
DOD 3 letters - DOD is a short, common word - the clue "The acronym for US Department of Defense" gives it away with a straight definition. It begins with D and ends with D; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
NOON 4 letters - the clue "The middle of the day, lunch time" describes NOON directly. The doubled O is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
PERK 4 letters - "Tiny extra employee benefit" leads to PERK by definition. At just 4 letters, it is a quick fill - the crossing letters from longer answers should confirm it.
