Word Lanes Level 1962 Answers
9 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 1962, part of the Levels 1901-2000 block. Level 1962 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 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
HIPPO 5 letters - "African mammal that wallows in rivers" is a straight definition, and HIPPO is the word that matches. The doubled P is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
EMPIRE 6 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: EMPIRE completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. DESADE in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
MENUS 5 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Lists of restaurant offerings" asks for more than one, and MENUS fits. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.
DESADE 6 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: DESADE completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It begins with D and ends with E; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
RETURNS 7 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Merchandise to be taken back to the store" asks for more than one, and RETURNS fits. It is the longest answer in Level 1962, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.
VITARA 6 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: VITARA completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It opens with an uncommon V, which makes it a strong anchor for the lanes it crosses.
TOSS 4 letters - "Throw lightly" leads to TOSS by definition. It ties with DRAG for the shortest lane here; wait for crossings before committing.
DRAG 4 letters - reading "To pull along on the ground roughly" literally points to DRAG. At just 4 letters, it is a quick fill - the crossing letters from longer answers should confirm it.
DIRTY 5 letters - "Unclean, filthy" is a straight definition, and DIRTY is the word that matches. It begins with D and ends with Y; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
