Word Lanes Level 972 Answers
8 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 972, part of the Levels 901-1000 block. Level 972 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
OCARINA 7 letters - "Ancient flute-like instrument, ceramic with holes" is a straight definition, and OCARINA is the word that matches. REVIVES in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
HARDSELL 8 letters - Word Lanes strips the space, so HARDSELL goes into the lane as one unbroken run of 8 letters. It ties with CHARLENE for the longest lane in Level 972 at 8 letters, so either one opens up the most crossings.
CHEESE 6 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: CHEESE completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It ties with OUTWIT for the shortest lane here; wait for crossings before committing.
OUTWIT 6 letters - reading "Outsmart, get the better of" literally points to OUTWIT. It begins with O and ends with T; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
REVIVES 7 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Restores to consciousness" asks for more than one, and REVIVES fits. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.
CHARLENE 8 letters - the clue "Wife of Prince Albert of Monaco, a former swimmer" describes CHARLENE directly. It begins with C and ends with E; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
FRETTING 8 letters - the present participle ending narrows the options - "Worrying, becoming anxious" leads to FRETTING. The doubled T is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
KIDNEY 6 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: KIDNEY completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It opens with an uncommon K, which makes it a strong anchor for the lanes it crosses.
