Word Lanes Level 2261 Answers
8 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 2261, part of the Levels 2201-2300 block. Level 2261 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
DINTED 6 letters - the past tense ending narrows the options - "Banged a minor depression in a vehicle panel" leads to DINTED. BLIGHT in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
SHORT 5 letters - the clue "Brief, succinct" describes SHORT directly. It ties with FAROE for the shortest lane here; wait for crossings before committing.
FAROE 5 letters - "Danish islands between Iceland and Norway" leads to FAROE by definition. It begins with F and ends with E; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
CYCLOPS 7 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "One-eyed monster from Greek legend" asks for more than one, and CYCLOPS fits. It ties with IMPALED for the longest lane in Level 2261 at 7 letters, so either one opens up the most crossings.
IMPALED 7 letters - the past tense ending narrows the options - "Pierced by a spike or spear" leads to IMPALED. It begins with I and ends with D; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
BLIGHT 6 letters - the clue "Plant disease that often causes browning" describes BLIGHT directly. It begins with B and ends with T; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
ANGLER 6 letters - "Rod fisher" leads to ANGLER by definition. It begins with A and ends with R; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
CHEWING 7 letters - the present participle ending narrows the options - "Solid food requires this mastication" leads to CHEWING. It begins with C and ends with G; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
