Word Lanes Level 870 Answers
8 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 870, part of the Levels 801-900 block. Level 870 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 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
COMPLAINT 9 letters - "A moan or gripe about poor service, for example" is a straight definition, and COMPLAINT is the word that matches. It ties with BOOKCASES for the longest lane in Level 870 at 9 letters, so either one opens up the most crossings.
STARCHES 8 letters - Word Lanes strips the space, so STARCHES goes into the lane as one unbroken run of 8 letters. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.
BOOKCASES 9 letters - Word Lanes strips the space, so BOOKCASES goes into the lane as one unbroken run of 9 letters. The doubled O is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
LILNASX 7 letters - reading "Stage name of rapper Montero Lamar Hill" literally points to LILNASX. It begins with L and ends with X; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
SEPARATE 8 letters - "To divide, to set apart" is a straight definition, and SEPARATE is the word that matches. STARCHES in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
GIVEUP 6 letters - the clue "To throw in the towel means to do this" describes GIVEUP directly. It is the shortest lane here; leave it until the crossings make it obvious.
SHOTOKAN 8 letters - "Traditional style of karate, founded in Japan" leads to SHOTOKAN by definition. It begins with S and ends with N; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
BUMBLEBEE 9 letters - reading "Yellow Transformer named after an insect" literally points to BUMBLEBEE. The doubled E is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
