Bowling lanes are the long, narrow strips of wood or synthetic material that form the playing surface for the game of bowling. They are typically composed of two parallel alleys (6 letters) with a RESET area (5 letters) at the end of each alley. The alleys (5 letters) are usually divided into 10 frames, and the pins are set up in a triangular formation at the end of each frame. To bowl, players must roll the ball down the alley (5 letters) and try to knock down all the pins. Players can also use techniques such as weaving (5 letters) and widening (5 letters) their shots to increase their chances of success. Additionally, players can MERGE (5 letters) their shots to create a more powerful strike.
