Word Lanes Level 261 Answers
6 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 261, part of the Levels 201-300 block. Level 261 contains 6 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.

Level 261 Clues and Answers
| Clue | Answer |
|---|---|
| Paper orientation that is wider than longer | LANDSCAPE |
| Person who helps actors with their costumes | DRESSER |
| Place to pick up prescriptions | PHARMACY |
| Spanish Merry Christmas, Feliz __ | NAVIDAD |
| To utterly confuse or confound someone | BAMBOOZLE |
| Wackiness shown by many picture book illustrations | SILLINESS |
Word-by-Word Breakdown
LANDSCAPE 9 letters - Word Lanes strips the space, so LANDSCAPE goes into the lane as one unbroken run of 9 letters. It ties with BAMBOOZLE for the longest lane in Level 261 at 9 letters, so either one opens up the most crossings.
DRESSER 7 letters - the clue "Person who helps actors with their costumes" describes DRESSER directly. It ties with NAVIDAD for the shortest lane here; wait for crossings before committing.
PHARMACY 8 letters - "Place to pick up prescriptions" leads to PHARMACY by definition. It begins with P and ends with Y; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
NAVIDAD 7 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: NAVIDAD completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. DRESSER in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
BAMBOOZLE 9 letters - "To utterly confuse or confound someone" is a straight definition, and BAMBOOZLE is the word that matches. The doubled O is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
SILLINESS 9 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Wackiness shown by many picture book illustrations" asks for more than one, and SILLINESS fits. The doubled L is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
