Word Lanes Level 8714 Answers
8 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 8714, part of the Levels 8701-8800 block. Level 8714 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 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
HIGHROAD 8 letters - Word Lanes strips the space, so HIGHROAD goes into the lane as one unbroken run of 8 letters. No visible gap in the lane, so count the full 8 boxes before guessing.
LIZARDS 7 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Chameleons and geckos are these" asks for more than one, and LIZARDS fits. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.
FATALITY 8 letters - "Death, casualty" leads to FATALITY by definition. HIGHROAD in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
SAMMENDES 9 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Film director responsible for American Beauty" asks for more than one, and SAMMENDES fits. It ties with BELLYFLOP for the longest lane in Level 8714 at 9 letters, so either one opens up the most crossings.
BELLYFLOP 9 letters - "Landing tummy first in the water when diving in" is a straight definition, and BELLYFLOP is the word that matches. The doubled L is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
BOXING 6 letters - the present participle ending narrows the options - "Punching exercise, wearing gloves" leads to BOXING. It is the shortest lane here; leave it until the crossings make it obvious.
SILVERAGE 9 letters - "Successful period in comic book history, 1956-1970" leads to SILVERAGE by definition. It begins with S and ends with E; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
HANDSOME 8 letters - Word Lanes strips the space, so HANDSOME goes into the lane as one unbroken run of 8 letters. It begins with H and ends with E; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
