Word Lanes Level 8579 Answers

8 clues solved and verified

This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 8579, part of the Levels 8501-8600 block. Level 8579 contains 8 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. You can also browse the neighbouring levels further down this page, jump back to the full 8501-8600 index, open the complete level list, or read the Tips for tactics that work on every tier.

Word-by-Word Breakdown

INFLUENZA 9 letters - "Contagious illness that's worse than a cold" is a straight definition, and INFLUENZA is the word that matches. It ties with PESSIMIST for the longest lane in Level 8579 at 9 letters, so either one opens up the most crossings.

REVIEWED 8 letters - the past tense ending narrows the options - "Did a write-up of a product or business" leads to REVIEWED. SHIRKING in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.

PESSIMIST 9 letters - "Person who expects the worst outcome" leads to PESSIMIST by definition. The doubled S is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.

POSTERN 7 letters - reading "Secondary gate in a fortification or castle" literally points to POSTERN. It begins with P and ends with N; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.

SHIRKING 8 letters - the present participle ending narrows the options - "Shrugging off one's responsibilities" leads to SHIRKING. It begins with S and ends with G; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.

NOBODY 6 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: NOBODY completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. It is the shortest lane here; leave it until the crossings make it obvious.

KNUCKLES 8 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Sonic's red echidna friend" asks for more than one, and KNUCKLES fits. It opens with an uncommon K, which makes it a strong anchor for the lanes it crosses.

STOCKHOLM 9 letters - reading "Swedish capital, built across 14 islands" literally points to STOCKHOLM. It begins with S and ends with M; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
