Word Lanes Level 9976 Answers

9 clues solved and verified

This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 9976, part of the Levels 9901-10000 block. Level 9976 contains 9 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

MAYANS 6 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Ancient people associated with world's end in 2012" asks for more than one, and MAYANS fits. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.

BELLY 5 letters - the adverb ending narrows the options - "Hip-swaying middle eastern dancing" leads to BELLY. The doubled L is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.

CRUDEST 7 letters - "Least sophisticated" leads to CRUDEST by definition. It is the longest answer in Level 9976, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.

ARTIST 6 letters - reading "Painter, musician, sculpter, creative person" literally points to ARTIST. MAYANS in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.

TEEN 4 letters - "Person between twelve and twenty" is a straight definition, and TEEN is the word that matches. It ties with CHAI for the shortest lane here; wait for crossings before committing.

CHAI 4 letters - the clue "Spicy Indian tea" describes CHAI directly. At just 4 letters, it is a quick fill - the crossing letters from longer answers should confirm it.

REFUND 6 letters - "Take a purchase back and get this" leads to REFUND by definition. It begins with R and ends with D; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.

OBAMA 5 letters - reading "US president elected in 2008" literally points to OBAMA. It begins with O and ends with A; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.

HAPPY 5 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: HAPPY completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. The doubled P is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
