Word Lanes Level 4986 Answers
13 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 4986, part of the Levels 4901-5000 block. Level 4986 contains 13 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 are advanced levels, leaning on cultural references, lateral thinking, and longer answers. 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. You can also browse the neighbouring levels further down this page, jump back to the full 4901-5000 index, open the complete level list, or read the Tips for tactics that work on every tier.

Word-by-Word Breakdown
JUDGE 5 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: JUDGE completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It opens with an uncommon J, which makes it a strong anchor for the lanes it crosses.
YARN 4 letters - the clue "A type of string that rhymes with barn" describes YARN directly. It opens with an uncommon Y, which makes it a strong anchor for the lanes it crosses.
ZWEIG 5 letters - "Austrian biographer Stefan, who wrote Amok" leads to ZWEIG by definition. It opens with an uncommon Z, which makes it a strong anchor for the lanes it crosses.
JACKPOT 7 letters - reading "Big win on a slot machine" literally points to JACKPOT. It begins with J and ends with T; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
EAT 3 letters - EAT is a short, common word - the clue "Madagascar's time zone" gives it away with a straight definition. It ties with EYE for the shortest lane here; wait for crossings before committing.
STONE 5 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: STONE completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. JUDGE in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
EYE 3 letters - EYE is a short, common word - the clue "Part of the body where a cataract forms" gives it away with a straight definition. At just 3 letters, it is a quick fill - the crossing letters from longer answers should confirm it.
UHT 3 letters - UHT is a short, common word - the clue "Short for "ultra-high temperature"" gives it away with a straight definition. It begins with U and ends with T; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
BEC 3 letters - BEC is a short, common word - the clue "Shortest shortening for Rebecca" gives it away with a straight definition. It begins with B and ends with C; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
FOUL 4 letters - the clue "Sports move that results in a penalty" describes FOUL directly. At just 4 letters, it is a quick fill - the crossing letters from longer answers should confirm it.
LOL 3 letters - LOL is a short, common word - the clue "Textspeak to signal amusement" gives it away with a straight definition. It begins with L and ends with L; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
CARNIVOROUS 11 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "To be a meat-eating, hungry animal" asks for more than one, and CARNIVOROUS fits. It is the longest answer in Level 4986, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.
GINRUMMY 8 letters - "Two-person card game that ends with a knock" is a straight definition, and GINRUMMY is the word that matches. The doubled M is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
