Word Lanes Level 878 Answers

7 clues solved and verified

This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 878, part of the Levels 801-900 block. Level 878 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 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.

Level 878 Clues and Answers

ClueAnswer
A soldier for hire MERCENARY
Animal analogy for someone who doesn't need others LONEWOLF
Marty McFly's time-bending comrade – Great Scott! DOCBROWN
Restricted in size LIMITED
Surround on all sides, form a ring around ENCIRCLE
Tennis foul when serving FOOTFAULT
Very cold storage for homemade meals FREEZER

Word-by-Word Breakdown

MERCENARY 9 letters - "A soldier for hire" is a straight definition, and MERCENARY is the word that matches. It ties with FOOTFAULT for the longest lane in Level 878 at 9 letters, so either one opens up the most crossings.

LONEWOLF 8 letters - the clue "Animal analogy for someone who doesn't need others" describes LONEWOLF directly. DOCBROWN in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.

DOCBROWN 8 letters - "Marty McFly's time-bending comrade – Great Scott!" leads to DOCBROWN by definition. It begins with D and ends with N; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.

LIMITED 7 letters - the past tense ending narrows the options - "Restricted in size" leads to LIMITED. It ties with FREEZER for the shortest lane here; wait for crossings before committing.

ENCIRCLE 8 letters - "Surround on all sides, form a ring around" is a straight definition, and ENCIRCLE is the word that matches. It begins with E and ends with E; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.

FOOTFAULT 9 letters - Word Lanes strips the space, so FOOTFAULT goes into the lane as one unbroken run of 9 letters. The doubled O is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.

FREEZER 7 letters - "Very cold storage for homemade meals" leads to FREEZER by definition. The doubled E is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
