Word Lanes Level 2287 Answers

FOOTPRINT 9 letters - Word Lanes strips the space, so FOOTPRINT goes into the lane as one unbroken run of 9 letters. The doubled O is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.

MIXES 5 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Combines music tracks" asks for more than one, and MIXES fits. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.

HARDDRIVE 9 letters - Word Lanes strips the space, so HARDDRIVE goes into the lane as one unbroken run of 9 letters. The doubled D is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.

MOTIVATE 8 letters - reading "Encourage, compel someone to do something" literally points to MOTIVATE. It begins with M and ends with E; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.

SIGN 4 letters - "Language using fingers to write words" is a straight definition, and SIGN is the word that matches. It is the shortest lane here; leave it until the crossings make it obvious.

ENGLISH 7 letters - the clue "Main language spoken in Australia and New Zealand" describes ENGLISH directly. It begins with E and ends with H; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.

FIFTH 5 letters - "Schroeder often played this Beethoven symphony" leads to FIFTH by definition. MIXES in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.

CRIMINOLOGY 11 letters - reading "The study of illegal acts" literally points to CRIMINOLOGY. It is the longest answer in Level 2287, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.

CARRIE 6 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: CARRIE completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. The doubled R is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
