Word Lanes Level 1973 Answers
9 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 1973, part of the Levels 1901-2000 block. Level 1973 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
TESTING 7 letters - the present participle ending narrows the options - "Checking to see if something works" leads to TESTING. HIMSELF in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
HIMSELF 7 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: HIMSELF completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It begins with H and ends with F; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
BORROWS 7 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Gets on loan" asks for more than one, and BORROWS fits. The doubled R is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
PRESERVED 9 letters - the past tense ending narrows the options - "Kept in good condition" leads to PRESERVED. It is the longest answer in Level 1973, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.
JAYLENO 7 letters - "Retired American late night host and car collector" is a straight definition, and JAYLENO is the word that matches. It opens with an uncommon J, which makes it a strong anchor for the lanes it crosses.
DOWNHILL 8 letters - Word Lanes strips the space, so DOWNHILL goes into the lane as one unbroken run of 8 letters. The doubled L is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
SUNGOD 6 letters - "Solar deity, e.g. Ra in Ancient Egyptian times" leads to SUNGOD by definition. It ties with ADVERB for the shortest lane here; wait for crossings before committing.
ADVERB 6 letters - reading "Word that modifies verbs or clauses" literally points to ADVERB. It begins with A and ends with B; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
COMPACT 7 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: COMPACT completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It begins with C and ends with T; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
