Word Lanes Level 166 Answers
9 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 166, part of the Levels 101-200 block. Level 166 contains 9 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
SHOWDOWN 8 letters - "A stand-off or a head-to-head confrontation" is a straight definition, and SHOWDOWN is the word that matches. CROUTONS in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
HEART 5 letters - the clue "Beating organ" describes HEART directly. It is the shortest lane here; leave it until the crossings make it obvious.
CROUTONS 8 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Dried bread cubes to go on soup" asks for more than one, and CROUTONS fits. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.
PARLOUR 7 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: PARLOUR completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It begins with P and ends with R; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
PRIORITY 8 letters - "Item on a list that needs urgent attention" is a straight definition, and PRIORITY is the word that matches. It begins with P and ends with Y; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
TAHINI 6 letters - the clue "Middle Eastern dip made from ground sesame" describes TAHINI directly. It begins with T and ends with I; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
SHEIKH 6 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: SHEIKH completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It begins with S and ends with H; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
EXTENSION 9 letters - reading "These cords let you plug in more than one thing" literally points to EXTENSION. It is the longest answer in Level 166, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.
KITCHEN 7 letters - "Where food is made in a restaurant" is a straight definition, and KITCHEN is the word that matches. It opens with an uncommon K, which makes it a strong anchor for the lanes it crosses.
