Word Lanes Level 146 Answers
9 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 146, part of the Levels 101-200 block. Level 146 contains 9 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.

Word-by-Word Breakdown
RIBCAGE 7 letters - "Bony enclosure that provides protection for hearts" is a straight definition, and RIBCAGE is the word that matches. EXPLORE in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
KLEIN 5 letters - the clue "Fashion designer Calvin, with CK one brand" describes KLEIN directly. It is the shortest lane here; leave it until the crossings make it obvious.
EXPLORE 7 letters - "Look around a new place" leads to EXPLORE by definition. It begins with E and ends with E; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
VACUUM 6 letters - reading "Motor-driven device for carpet cleaning" literally points to VACUUM. It opens with an uncommon V, which makes it a strong anchor for the lanes it crosses.
TARTANS 7 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Plaid designs used by Scottish families" asks for more than one, and TARTANS fits. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.
CHIPMUNK 8 letters - the clue "Small tree rodent that hides acorns in its cheeks" describes CHIPMUNK directly. It begins with C and ends with K; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
WHIMPER 7 letters - "Sob gently, snivel, whine" leads to WHIMPER by definition. It opens with an uncommon W, which makes it a strong anchor for the lanes it crosses.
MAGNOLIA 8 letters - reading "State flower of Louisiana" literally points to MAGNOLIA. It begins with M and ends with A; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
SWORDSMAN 9 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: SWORDSMAN completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It is the longest answer in Level 146, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.
