Word Lanes Level 4869 Answers
8 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 4869, part of the Levels 4801-4900 block. Level 4869 contains 8 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 are advanced levels, leaning on cultural references, lateral thinking, and longer answers. 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
CUMIN 5 letters - "Aromatic spice ground and used in curry" is a straight definition, and CUMIN is the word that matches. It is the shortest lane here; leave it until the crossings make it obvious.
GROUCHY 7 letters - the clue "Bad-tempered, crabby, cantankerous" describes GROUCHY directly. RECEIVE in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
BASEMENT 8 letters - "Cellar, room or rooms beneath the ground floor" leads to BASEMENT by definition. It begins with B and ends with T; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
SWEATBAND 9 letters - reading "Elastic headgear to catch perspiration" literally points to SWEATBAND. It is the longest answer in Level 4869, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.
SKILLS 6 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Talents that have been learned, like parking a car" asks for more than one, and SKILLS fits. The doubled L is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
RECEIVE 7 letters - the clue "The "take" part of give or take" describes RECEIVE directly. It begins with R and ends with E; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
BLACKICE 8 letters - "Transparent frozen coating, makes roads dangerous" leads to BLACKICE by definition. It begins with B and ends with E; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
TANGUT 6 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: TANGUT completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It begins with T and ends with T; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
