Word Lanes Level 8140 Answers
8 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 8140, part of the Levels 8101-8200 block. Level 8140 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 are among the hardest levels in the game, with obscure trivia and compound answers that reward the crossing-letter method. 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
FIESTA 6 letters - "A celebration or party in Spanish" is a straight definition, and FIESTA is the word that matches. HUMANS in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
PREVARICATE 11 letters - the clue "Act or speak in an evasive way" describes PREVARICATE directly. It ties with LESLIEJONES for the longest lane in Level 8140 at 11 letters, so either one opens up the most crossings.
HILT 4 letters - "Grip and pommel of a sword or dagger" leads to HILT by definition. It is the shortest lane here; leave it until the crossings make it obvious.
HUMANS 6 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "It is said that they use only 10% of their brains" asks for more than one, and HUMANS fits. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.
APPOINTING 10 letters - the present participle ending narrows the options - "Selecting someone for a job or unelected office" leads to APPOINTING. The doubled P is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
LESLIEJONES 11 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "She starred in the 2016 Ghostbusters reboot" asks for more than one, and LESLIEJONES fits. At 11 letters this is a long lane - place it early to unlock the maximum number of crossings.
BUTTERFLY 9 letters - the adverb ending narrows the options - "Swimming stroke that is also a type of insect" leads to BUTTERFLY. The doubled T is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
DIURNAL 7 letters - reading "Technical term for daily" literally points to DIURNAL. It begins with D and ends with L; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
