Word Lanes Level 8740 Answers
13 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 8740, part of the Levels 8701-8800 block. Level 8740 contains 13 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 among the hardest levels in the game, with obscure trivia and compound answers that reward the crossing-letter method. 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
FIG 3 letters - FIG is a short, common word - the clue "Abbreviation for a diagram in a scientific paper" gives it away with a straight definition. It ties with LYE for the shortest lane here; wait for crossings before committing.
CHIA 4 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: CHIA completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. At just 4 letters, it is a quick fill - the crossing letters from longer answers should confirm it.
YURTS 5 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Circular tents used by Mongolian nomads" asks for more than one, and YURTS fits. It opens with an uncommon Y, which makes it a strong anchor for the lanes it crosses.
CIVILWAR 8 letters - reading "Conflict within a country, Captain America film" literally points to CIVILWAR. It begins with C and ends with R; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
LYE 3 letters - LYE is a short, common word - the clue "Key ingredient in soap" gives it away with a straight definition. At just 3 letters, it is a quick fill - the crossing letters from longer answers should confirm it.
ADIEU 5 letters - the clue "Late Middle English word for goodbye" describes ADIEU directly. YURTS in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
DOG 3 letters - DOG is a short, common word - the clue "Like hot summer days, per Florence and the Machine" gives it away with a straight definition. It begins with D and ends with G; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
OHM 3 letters - OHM is a short, common word - the clue "Measure of electrical resistance" gives it away with a straight definition. It begins with O and ends with M; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
MATE 4 letters - "Ship's officer who helps the captain" is a straight definition, and MATE is the word that matches. It begins with M and ends with E; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
BAO 3 letters - BAO is a short, common word - the clue "Steamed Chinese dumpling or bun" gives it away with a straight definition. It begins with B and ends with O; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
SUPREME 7 letters - "Trendy skateboarding brand with a red logo" leads to SUPREME by definition. It begins with S and ends with E; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
WATERSPOUTS 11 letters - Word Lanes strips the space, so WATERSPOUTS goes into the lane as one unbroken run of 11 letters. It is the longest answer in Level 8740, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.
KENYA 5 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: KENYA completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It opens with an uncommon K, which makes it a strong anchor for the lanes it crosses.
