Word Lanes Level 9742 Answers
7 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 9742, part of the Levels 9701-9800 block. Level 9742 contains 7 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
WAVEROCK 8 letters - "Australian stone form that looks like moving water" is a straight definition, and WAVEROCK is the word that matches. It opens with an uncommon W, which makes it a strong anchor for the lanes it crosses.
CASTRIES 8 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Capital of Saint Lucia" asks for more than one, and CASTRIES fits. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.
STRENGTHS 9 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Not weaknesses, positive characteristics" asks for more than one, and STRENGTHS fits. It is the longest answer in Level 9742, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.
COIN 4 letters - reading "Piece of metal money that jingles in a pocket" literally points to COIN. It is the shortest lane here; leave it until the crossings make it obvious.
DOLMENS 7 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Prehistoric burial chambers set with megaliths" asks for more than one, and DOLMENS fits. It begins with D and ends with S; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
FOREHAND 8 letters - Word Lanes strips the space, so FOREHAND goes into the lane as one unbroken run of 8 letters. No visible gap in the lane, so count the full 8 boxes before guessing.
HAPPY 5 letters - "Word preceding Christmas, Valentine's day" leads to HAPPY by definition. The doubled P is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
