Word Lanes Level 5186 Answers

SLING 5 letters - the present participle ending narrows the options - "A device for an injured arm, rhymes with bling" leads to SLING. It ties with SONAR for the shortest lane here; wait for crossings before committing.

PALLET 6 letters - the clue "A forklift lifts this wooden box" describes PALLET directly. The doubled L is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.

LUSITANIA 9 letters - "Cunard vessel sunk by a German submarine in 1915" leads to LUSITANIA by definition. AIRGUITAR in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
