Word Lanes Level 8698 Answers
7 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 8698, part of the Levels 8601-8700 block. Level 8698 contains 7 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 are among the hardest levels in the game, with obscure trivia and compound answers that reward the crossing-letter method. 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
NOSERING 8 letters - the present participle ending narrows the options - "A nasal piercing for humans and for leading cattle" leads to NOSERING. CAPITALS in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
CAPITALS 8 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Chief cities, places of government" asks for more than one, and CAPITALS fits. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.
MUSHROOM 8 letters - "Commonly edible fungus" leads to MUSHROOM by definition. The doubled O is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
TARIFFS 7 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Duties levied on imported and exported goods" asks for more than one, and TARIFFS fits. It is the shortest lane here; leave it until the crossings make it obvious.
PUNCHING 8 letters - the present participle ending narrows the options - "Striking a bag with a fist" leads to PUNCHING. It begins with P and ends with G; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
BRANCHES 8 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "The arms of a tree" asks for more than one, and BRANCHES fits. It begins with B and ends with S; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
CLEOPATRA 9 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: CLEOPATRA completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It is the longest answer in Level 8698, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.
