Word Lanes Level 385 Answers
9 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 385, part of the Levels 301-400 block. Level 385 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
BEASTS 6 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: BEASTS completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.
PUREEING 8 letters - the present participle ending narrows the options - "Blending food to mush, e.g. for babies to consume" leads to PUREEING. The doubled E is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
RUSHHOUR 8 letters - "Commuter's crowded time" leads to RUSHHOUR by definition. The doubled H is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
SKYLAB 6 letters - reading "First NASA space station, fell to Earth in 1979" literally points to SKYLAB. BEASTS in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
ALWAYS 6 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Forever" asks for more than one, and ALWAYS fits. It begins with A and ends with S; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
BRILLIANCE 10 letters - the clue "Genius or exceptional talent" describes BRILLIANCE directly. It is the longest answer in Level 385, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.
CUCKOOS 7 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: CUCKOOS completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. The doubled O is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
SUNBATHE 8 letters - Word Lanes strips the space, so SUNBATHE 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.
TOTAL 5 letters - "Write off a car" is a straight definition, and TOTAL is the word that matches. It is the shortest lane here; leave it until the crossings make it obvious.
