Word Lanes Level 1220 Answers
8 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 1220, part of the Levels 1201-1300 block. Level 1220 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
TROTTER 7 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: TROTTER completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. The doubled T is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
KASHMIR 7 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: KASHMIR 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.
FORTYTWO 8 letters - Word Lanes strips the space, so FORTYTWO 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.
INFLAMMATORY 12 letters - reading "Provocative, like a red rag to a bull" literally points to INFLAMMATORY. It is the longest answer in Level 1220, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.
MAMBO 5 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: MAMBO completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It is the shortest lane here; leave it until the crossings make it obvious.
WHITTLES 8 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Shapes with a knife" asks for more than one, and WHITTLES fits. It opens with an uncommon W, which makes it a strong anchor for the lanes it crosses.
OVERSHADOW 10 letters - Word Lanes strips the space, so OVERSHADOW goes into the lane as one unbroken run of 10 letters. No visible gap in the lane, so count the full 10 boxes before guessing.
PANDORO 7 letters - reading "Vanilla-scented festive Italian dough bread" literally points to PANDORO. TROTTER in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
