Word Lanes Level 196 Answers
7 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 196, part of the Levels 101-200 block. Level 196 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 sit in the intermediate band, where the order turns random, clues start using wordplay, and multi-word answers appear. 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
SQUASH 6 letters - "Butternut is a type of this veggie" is a straight definition, and SQUASH is the word that matches. It ties with DAMPEN for the shortest lane here; wait for crossings before committing.
INFLICT 7 letters - the clue "Impose something unpleasant upon" describes INFLICT directly. ROOIBOS in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
REPORTER 8 letters - "News deliverer" leads to REPORTER by definition. It ties with DECORATE for the longest lane in Level 196 at 8 letters, so either one opens up the most crossings.
ROOIBOS 7 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "South African redbush, its leaves used to make tea" asks for more than one, and ROOIBOS fits. The doubled O is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
PLUMBER 7 letters - "They fix pipes and install heating systems" is a straight definition, and PLUMBER is the word that matches. It begins with P and ends with R; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
DECORATE 8 letters - the clue "To make something look good by adding items to it" describes DECORATE directly. It begins with D and ends with E; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
DAMPEN 6 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: DAMPEN completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It begins with D and ends with N; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
