Word Lanes Level 9871 Answers
8 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 9871, part of the Levels 9801-9900 block. Level 9871 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
CARTER 6 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: CARTER completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It ties with BRAINY for the shortest lane here; wait for crossings before committing.
BRAINY 6 letters - the clue "Clever, intelligent" describes BRAINY directly. CARTER in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
SECRECY 7 letters - "Concealment, privacy" leads to SECRECY by definition. It begins with S and ends with Y; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
CURSIVE 7 letters - reading "Curly handwriting often taught at school" literally points to CURSIVE. It begins with C and ends with E; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
ARMINIUS 8 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "German tribal leader who rebelled against Romans" asks for more than one, and ARMINIUS fits. It ties with BILLABLE for the longest lane in Level 9871 at 8 letters, so either one opens up the most crossings.
BILLABLE 8 letters - the clue "Hours that a lawyer can charge for" describes BILLABLE directly. The doubled L is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
PETTIFOG 8 letters - "Quibble over trifles or trivia" leads to PETTIFOG by definition. The doubled T is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
PLIERS 6 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Reggae act's other member with Chaka Demus" asks for more than one, and PLIERS fits. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.
