Word Lanes Level 287 Answers
9 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 287, part of the Levels 201-300 block. Level 287 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
SALMAN 6 letters - "Became king of Saudi Arabia in 2015" is a straight definition, and SALMAN is the word that matches. It ties with SEWERS for the shortest lane here; wait for crossings before committing.
SPREADS 7 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Lays out butter on toast" asks for more than one, and SPREADS fits. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.
NUMBNESS 8 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Loss of feeling in a body part" asks for more than one, and NUMBNESS fits. The doubled S is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
BYCATCH 7 letters - reading "Marine life accidentally caught in fishing nets" literally points to BYCATCH. SPREADS in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
BRIXTON 7 letters - "Retailer shares its name with a S London district" is a straight definition, and BRIXTON is the word that matches. It begins with B and ends with N; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
INVISIBLE 9 letters - the clue "Something hidden or that can't be seen" describes INVISIBLE directly. It is the longest answer in Level 287, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.
SEWERS 6 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Underground drains for sanitary waste disposal" asks for more than one, and SEWERS fits. It begins with S and ends with S; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
CAUTION 7 letters - reading "Warning, vigilance" literally points to CAUTION. It begins with C and ends with N; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
DAYCARE 7 letters - "Where many children go when parents are working" is a straight definition, and DAYCARE is the word that matches. It begins with D and ends with E; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
