Word Lanes Level 1617 Answers
8 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 1617, part of the Levels 1601-1700 block. Level 1617 contains 8 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
CALIBRATE 9 letters - "Check that an instrument is measuring accurately" is a straight definition, and CALIBRATE is the word that matches. It ties with LACTATING for the longest lane in Level 1617 at 9 letters, so either one opens up the most crossings.
UPBEAT 6 letters - the clue "Cheerful, optimistic" describes UPBEAT directly. BISHOP in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
BISHOP 6 letters - "Clergyman who is in charge of a diocese" leads to BISHOP by definition. It begins with B and ends with P; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
MARZIPAN 8 letters - reading "Confection made from sugar and almond meal" literally points to MARZIPAN. It begins with M and ends with N; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
PAPER 5 letters - "Material on which letters or documents are printed" is a straight definition, and PAPER is the word that matches. It is the shortest lane here; leave it until the crossings make it obvious.
MINDSET 7 letters - the clue "Mental thought and attitude" describes MINDSET directly. It begins with M and ends with T; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
LACTATING 9 letters - the present participle ending narrows the options - "Producing milk for young" leads to LACTATING. It begins with L and ends with G; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
ABSORB 6 letters - reading "Soak up water" literally points to ABSORB. It begins with A and ends with B; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
