Word Lanes Level 1860 Answers

COMPILATION 11 letters - "Album that features a band's greatest hits" is a straight definition, and COMPILATION is the word that matches. At 11 letters this is a long lane - place it early to unlock the maximum number of crossings.

LANGAR 6 letters - the clue "Community kitchen of a Sikh gurdwara" describes LANGAR directly. FUNGUS in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.

SLUR 4 letters - "Curved line that shows notes sung or played legato" leads to SLUR by definition. At just 4 letters, it is a quick fill - the crossing letters from longer answers should confirm it.

PETAL 5 letters - reading "Distinctive, bright flower part around the stamen" literally points to PETAL. It begins with P and ends with L; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.

CLOSE 5 letters - "Do this with ranks in order to stand united" is a straight definition, and CLOSE is the word that matches. It begins with C and ends with E; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.

ELECTRICALLY 12 letters - the adverb ending narrows the options - "In a way involving power from the grid" leads to ELECTRICALLY. It ties with BUTTERSCOTCH for the longest lane in Level 1860 at 12 letters, so either one opens up the most crossings.

FUNGUS 6 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Mushrooms and spores are this" asks for more than one, and FUNGUS fits. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.

BUTTERSCOTCH 12 letters - reading "Sweet ice cream sauce flavour, similar to toffee" literally points to BUTTERSCOTCH. The doubled T is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.

OHM 3 letters - OHM is a short, common word - the clue "Unit of electrical resistance" gives it away with a straight definition. It is the shortest lane here; leave it until the crossings make it obvious.
