Word Lanes Level 9888 Answers
8 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 9888, part of the Levels 9801-9900 block. Level 9888 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
BUTTERFLY 9 letters - the adverb ending narrows the options - "A swallowtail, cloudywing or monarch" leads to BUTTERFLY. It is the longest answer in Level 9888, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.
WORRIED 7 letters - the past tense ending narrows the options - "Anxious/concerned about something" leads to WORRIED. It opens with an uncommon W, which makes it a strong anchor for the lanes it crosses.
DALLAS 6 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "City where John F. Kennedy was assassinated" asks for more than one, and DALLAS fits. It ties with AUGUST for the shortest lane here; wait for crossings before committing.
STIRRED 7 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: STIRRED completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. The doubled R is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
AUGUST 6 letters - "Leo is the zodiac sign of this month" is a straight definition, and AUGUST is the word that matches. DALLAS in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
GANGWAYS 8 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Narrow passages on a ship" asks for more than one, and GANGWAYS fits. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.
FAIRIES 7 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Pixie-like flying creatures" asks for more than one, and FAIRIES fits. It begins with F and ends with S; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
ABSORB 6 letters - reading "To soak up, like a sponge" literally points to ABSORB. It begins with A and ends with B; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
