Word Lanes Level 242 Answers
7 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 242, part of the Levels 201-300 block. Level 242 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.

Word-by-Word Breakdown
DUCKS 5 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Animals that make quacking sounds" asks for more than one, and DUCKS fits. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.
HURDLER 7 letters - the clue "Athletics participant who jumps obstacles" describes HURDLER directly. AIMLESS in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
AUTOMOBILE 10 letters - "Car" leads to AUTOMOBILE by definition. It is the longest answer in Level 242, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.
LACK 4 letters - reading "Dearth in supply" literally points to LACK. It is the shortest lane here; leave it until the crossings make it obvious.
CLINGING 8 letters - the present participle ending narrows the options - "Holding tightly onto something or someone" leads to CLINGING. It begins with C and ends with G; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
AIMLESS 7 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Without purpose, wandering" asks for more than one, and AIMLESS fits. The doubled S is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
WILLIAM 7 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: WILLIAM 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.
