Word Lanes Level 4879 Answers

GAG 3 letters - GAG is a short, common word - the clue "A joke or a funny story" gives it away with a straight definition. It is the shortest lane here; leave it until the crossings make it obvious.

POLITICIZED 11 letters - the past tense ending narrows the options - "Connected an event to government parties" leads to POLITICIZED. At 11 letters this is a long lane - place it early to unlock the maximum number of crossings.

RAVEN 5 letters - "Edgar Allen Poe wrote a poem about this bird" leads to RAVEN by definition. CHURN in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.

ISIS 4 letters - reading "Egyptian goddess married to Osiris" literally points to ISIS. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.

INTERMITTENT 12 letters - "Fad fasting diet that bounces back and forth" is a straight definition, and INTERMITTENT is the word that matches. It ties with HELIOCENTRIC for the longest lane in Level 4879 at 12 letters, so either one opens up the most crossings.

SHADOW 6 letters - the clue "It follows you everywhere" describes SHADOW directly. It begins with S and ends with W; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.

LEGGED 6 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: LEGGED completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. The doubled G is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.

CHURN 5 letters - reading "The machine or container used to make butter" literally points to CHURN. It begins with C and ends with N; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.

HELIOCENTRIC 12 letters - "Theory of astronomy that focuses on the sun" is a straight definition, and HELIOCENTRIC is the word that matches. At 12 letters this is a long lane - place it early to unlock the maximum number of crossings.
