Word Lanes Level 8896 Answers
8 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 8896, part of the Levels 8801-8900 block. Level 8896 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
CAT 3 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: CAT completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It ties with ALL for the shortest lane here; wait for crossings before committing.
SPORTSWRITER 12 letters - the clue "Baseball columnist, for example" describes SPORTSWRITER directly. It is the longest answer in Level 8896, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.
ALL 3 letters - ALL is a short, common word - the clue "Every part" gives it away with a straight definition. The doubled L is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
BAT 3 letters - BAT is a short, common word - the clue "Flying nocturnal mammal, e.g. Noctule" gives it away with a straight definition. At just 3 letters, it is a quick fill - the crossing letters from longer answers should confirm it.
DRYICE 6 letters - "Frozen carbon dioxide used for misty stage effects" is a straight definition, and DRYICE is the word that matches. It begins with D and ends with E; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
SIX 3 letters - SIX is a short, common word - the clue "Number of balls in a cricket over" gives it away with a straight definition. CAT in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
REGIONAL 8 letters - "Pertaining to areas of the country, not national" leads to REGIONAL by definition. It begins with R and ends with L; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
HOSE 4 letters - reading "Water-filled tube for extinguishing a fire" literally points to HOSE. At just 4 letters, it is a quick fill - the crossing letters from longer answers should confirm it.
