Word Lanes Level 10187 Answers

JURYMEN 7 letters - "12 males making judicial decisions" is a straight definition, and JURYMEN is the word that matches. It opens with an uncommon J, which makes it a strong anchor for the lanes it crosses.

SHOAL 5 letters - the clue "A group of fish, swimming in shallow water perhaps" describes SHOAL directly. AGAIN in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.

HOLLYWOOD 9 letters - "City beloved of the US movie industry" leads to HOLLYWOOD by definition. The doubled L is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.

LIT 3 letters - LIT is a short, common word - the clue "Illuminated" gives it away with a straight definition. It is the shortest lane here; leave it until the crossings make it obvious.

CHEERFULNESS 12 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Joyousness, happiness" asks for more than one, and CHEERFULNESS fits. It is the longest answer in Level 10187, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.

STAN 4 letters - the clue "Modern slang for a big fan" describes STAN directly. At just 4 letters, it is a quick fill - the crossing letters from longer answers should confirm it.
