Word Lanes Level 886 Answers
8 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 886, part of the Levels 801-900 block. Level 886 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 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
COMPATIBLE 10 letters - "Description of devices that work on other systems" is a straight definition, and COMPATIBLE is the word that matches. At 10 letters this is a long lane - place it early to unlock the maximum number of crossings.
CONTEMPORARY 12 letters - the clue "From the current time rather than the past" describes CONTEMPORARY directly. It ties with BILLIONAIRES for the longest lane in Level 886 at 12 letters, so either one opens up the most crossings.
BOB 3 letters - BOB is a short, common word - the clue "Jamaican reggae singer Marley" gives it away with a straight definition. It is the shortest lane here; leave it until the crossings make it obvious.
BILLIONAIRES 12 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Jay-Z" asks for more than one, and BILLIONAIRES fits. The doubled L is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
CARTON 6 letters - "Light cardboard box, usually one with milk" is a straight definition, and CARTON is the word that matches. It begins with C and ends with N; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
ACADEMICALLY 12 letters - the adverb ending narrows the options - "Relating to college or school" leads to ACADEMICALLY. At 12 letters this is a long lane - place it early to unlock the maximum number of crossings.
TALE 4 letters - "Story or anecdote" leads to TALE by definition. At just 4 letters, it is a quick fill - the crossing letters from longer answers should confirm it.
WINCH 5 letters - reading "Winding mechanism for lifting with a rope" literally points to WINCH. It opens with an uncommon W, which makes it a strong anchor for the lanes it crosses.
