Word Lanes Level 5985 Answers
9 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 5985, part of the Levels 5901-6000 block. Level 5985 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
DOING 5 letters - the present participle ending narrows the options - "Carrying out or performing a task" leads to DOING. It ties with JANET for the shortest lane here; wait for crossings before committing.
IDENTICAL 9 letters - the clue "Exactly alike" describes IDENTICAL directly. CURIOSITY in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
CURIOSITY 9 letters - "It killed the cat, so it is said" leads to CURIOSITY by definition. It begins with C and ends with Y; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
HEADHUNTERS 11 letters - Word Lanes strips the space, so HEADHUNTERS goes into the lane as one unbroken run of 11 letters. It is the longest answer in Level 5985, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.
JANET 5 letters - "Rhythm Nation singer and sister of Michael Jackson" is a straight definition, and JANET is the word that matches. It opens with an uncommon J, which makes it a strong anchor for the lanes it crosses.
POTSDAM 7 letters - the clue "Site of conference to plan for post-war Europe" describes POTSDAM directly. It begins with P and ends with M; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
FILING 6 letters - the present participle ending narrows the options - "Sorting office papers into categories" leads to FILING. It begins with F and ends with G; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
PRAYER 6 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: PRAYER completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It begins with P and ends with R; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
