Word Lanes Level 396 Answers
9 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 396, part of the Levels 301-400 block. Level 396 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
HELPS 5 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Assists, aids" asks for more than one, and HELPS fits. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.
FEEDER 6 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: FEEDER completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. The doubled E is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
CAIRO 5 letters - "Capital city of Egypt" leads to CAIRO by definition. HELPS in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
GREASE 6 letters - reading "Danny and Sandy did the Hand Jive in this film" literally points to GREASE. It begins with G and ends with E; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
HANNAH 6 letters - "Daryl, who played a mermaid in Splash" is a straight definition, and HANNAH is the word that matches. The doubled N is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
MANKINI 7 letters - the clue "Lime-green swimwear worn by Borat" describes MANKINI directly. It is the longest answer in Level 396, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.
CRAWL 5 letters - "Move on hands and knees, like a newly mobile baby" leads to CRAWL by definition. It begins with C and ends with L; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
MADE 4 letters - reading "The past tense of make" literally points to MADE. It ties with SING for the shortest lane here; wait for crossings before committing.
SING 4 letters - the present participle ending narrows the options - "What birds do at dawn" leads to SING. At just 4 letters, it is a quick fill - the crossing letters from longer answers should confirm it.
