Word Lanes Level 189 Answers
13 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 189, part of the Levels 101-200 block. Level 189 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 sit in the intermediate band, where the order turns random, clues start using wordplay, and multi-word answers appear. 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
AIL 3 letters - AIL is a short, common word - the clue "Afflict, worry" gives it away with a straight definition. It ties with THE for the shortest lane here; wait for crossings before committing.
LION 4 letters - the clue "Big cat known as the king of the jungle" describes LION directly. At just 4 letters, it is a quick fill - the crossing letters from longer answers should confirm it.
UNNERVING 9 letters - the present participle ending narrows the options - "Causing someone to lose confidence or courage" leads to UNNERVING. It is the longest answer in Level 189, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.
CHEESE 6 letters - reading "Dairy product from pressed curds of milk" literally points to CHEESE. The doubled E is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
THE 3 letters - THE is a short, common word - the clue "Definite article" 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.
MARY 4 letters - the clue "First name of Shelley, Blige or Wollstonecraft" describes MARY directly. LION in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
SOD 3 letters - SOD is a short, common word - the clue "Grass and its connected soil" gives it away with a straight definition. It begins with S and ends with D; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
CAP 3 letters - CAP is a short, common word - the clue "Put a restriction on the time spent on a task" gives it away with a straight definition. It begins with C and ends with P; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
DINS 4 letters - "Rackets" is a straight definition, and DINS is the word that matches. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.
BORAX 5 letters - the clue "Sodium compound used in many cleaning products" describes BORAX directly. It begins with B and ends with X; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
