Word Lanes Level 1173 Answers
9 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 1173, part of the Levels 1101-1200 block. Level 1173 contains 9 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
BASKET 6 letters - "Bucket-shaped receptacle for wastepaper" is a straight definition, and BASKET is the word that matches. RANSOM in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
BEARD 5 letters - the clue "Bushy facial hair that grows on the chin" describes BEARD directly. It ties with WRONG for the shortest lane here; wait for crossings before committing.
FURNITURE 9 letters - "Chairs, cupboards and dressers, for example" leads to FURNITURE by definition. It begins with F and ends with E; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
INSTRUMENTS 11 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Guitar, clarinet, ukulele, trumpet" asks for more than one, and INSTRUMENTS fits. It is the longest answer in Level 1173, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.
WRONG 5 letters - "Incorrect" is a straight definition, and WRONG is the word that matches. It opens with an uncommon W, which makes it a strong anchor for the lanes it crosses.
RANSOM 6 letters - the clue "Money demanded for prisoner release" describes RANSOM directly. It begins with R and ends with M; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
RUSSIAN 7 letters - "Nationality of the playwright Anton Chekhov" leads to RUSSIAN by definition. The doubled S is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
GLAZES 6 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Puts windows in" asks for more than one, and GLAZES fits. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.
OILTANKER 9 letters - "Ship carrying petroleum" is a straight definition, and OILTANKER is the word that matches. It begins with O and ends with R; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
