Word Lanes Level 5578 Answers
9 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 5578, part of the Levels 5501-5600 block. Level 5578 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 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
STREAM 6 letters - "A brook, a small river" is a straight definition, and STREAM is the word that matches. GREASE in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
CLEANSES 8 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Deterge, sanitises" asks for more than one, and CLEANSES fits. It ties with LIMERICK for the longest lane in Level 5578 at 8 letters, so either one opens up the most crossings.
GREASE 6 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: GREASE completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It begins with G and ends with E; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
LIMERICK 8 letters - reading "Funny, five-line poem" literally points to LIMERICK. It begins with L and ends with K; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
LABOR 5 letters - "Hard work" is a straight definition, and LABOR is the word that matches. It ties with JERRY for the shortest lane here; wait for crossings before committing.
SLOWER 6 letters - the clue "Having less speed" describes SLOWER directly. It begins with S and ends with R; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
CALCIUM 7 letters - "Mineral that helps build strong bones" leads to CALCIUM by definition. It begins with C and ends with M; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
JERRY 5 letters - reading "Mouse foe of Tom the cartoon cat" literally points to JERRY. It opens with an uncommon J, which makes it a strong anchor for the lanes it crosses.
BLADE 5 letters - "Sharp edge of a knife or sword" is a straight definition, and BLADE is the word that matches. It begins with B and ends with E; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
