Word Lanes Level 8861 Answers
7 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 8861, part of the Levels 8801-8900 block. Level 8861 contains 7 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
COGITO 6 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: COGITO completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. SWAYED in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
GLOVE 5 letters - the clue "A baseball player wears this to protect their hand" describes GLOVE directly. It is the shortest lane here; leave it until the crossings make it obvious.
HOSTING 7 letters - the present participle ending narrows the options - "Holding a dinner" leads to HOSTING. It begins with H and ends with G; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
SWAYED 6 letters - the past tense ending narrows the options - "Influenced or affected by" leads to SWAYED. It begins with S and ends with D; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
UNNECESSARY 11 letters - "Not required" is a straight definition, and UNNECESSARY is the word that matches. It is the longest answer in Level 8861, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.
SPOILER 7 letters - the clue "Plot section cruelly revealed to others" describes SPOILER directly. It begins with S and ends with R; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
REBECCA 7 letters - "Usual full forename of someone called Becky" leads to REBECCA by definition. The doubled C is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
