Word Lanes Level 8849 Answers
8 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 8849, part of the Levels 8801-8900 block. Level 8849 contains 8 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
ANTWERP 7 letters - "Belgian city and port on the Scheldt estuary" is a straight definition, and ANTWERP is the word that matches. FALSIFY in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
FALSIFY 7 letters - the clue "Counterfeit or forge, a document, for example" describes FALSIFY directly. It begins with F and ends with Y; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
HEDGEHOG 8 letters - "Small mammal known for curling up in a ball" leads to HEDGEHOG by definition. It ties with WARRIORS for the longest lane in Level 8849 at 8 letters, so either one opens up the most crossings.
DEBATE 6 letters - reading "Televised political argument" literally points to DEBATE. It ties with MOSCOW for the shortest lane here; wait for crossings before committing.
WARRIORS 8 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: WARRIORS completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It opens with an uncommon W, which makes it a strong anchor for the lanes it crosses.
CIABATTA 8 letters - the clue "The bread that means slipper in Italian" describes CIABATTA directly. The doubled T is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
MOSCOW 6 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: MOSCOW completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It begins with M and ends with W; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
BOILED 6 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: BOILED completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It begins with B and ends with D; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
