Word Lanes Level 861 Answers
7 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 861, part of the Levels 801-900 block. Level 861 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 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.

|---|---|

| Guard's van on an American freight train | CABOOSE |

Word-by-Word Breakdown
POINTY 6 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: POINTY completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. BUCKET in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
CABOOSE 7 letters - the clue "Guard's van on an American freight train" describes CABOOSE directly. The doubled O is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
BALM 4 letters - "Healing ointment" leads to BALM by definition. It ties with SEAL for the shortest lane here; wait for crossings before committing.
SEAL 4 letters - reading "Singer of A Kiss from a Rose" literally points to SEAL. At just 4 letters, it is a quick fill - the crossing letters from longer answers should confirm it.
TRIBUTE 7 letters - "Testimonial or respectful speech" is a straight definition, and TRIBUTE is the word that matches. It begins with T and ends with E; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
GOLDBERG 8 letters - Word Lanes strips the space, so GOLDBERG goes into the lane as one unbroken run of 8 letters. It is the longest answer in Level 861, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.
BUCKET 6 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: BUCKET completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It begins with B and ends with T; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
