Word Lanes Level 8872 Answers
8 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 8872, part of the Levels 8801-8900 block. Level 8872 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.

Word-by-Word Breakdown
GABLES 6 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Anne of Green these, Lucy Maud Montgomery book" asks for more than one, and GABLES fits. It ties with POIRET for the shortest lane here; wait for crossings before committing.
TEABAGS 7 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Dried leaves in fine mesh, just add hot water" asks for more than one, and TEABAGS fits. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.
PHARAOHS 8 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Egyptian rulers, such as Ramses and Thutmose" asks for more than one, and PHARAOHS fits. It ties with FIREWOOD for the longest lane in Level 8872 at 8 letters, so either one opens up the most crossings.
POIRET 6 letters - the clue is a fill-in-the-blank: POIRET completes the phrase the puzzle is looking for. GABLES in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
FIREWOOD 8 letters - Word Lanes strips the space, so FIREWOOD goes into the lane as one unbroken run of 8 letters. The doubled O is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
TOPPLING 8 letters - the present participle ending narrows the options - "Overbalancing a stack of bricks" leads to TOPPLING. The doubled P is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
TRIPOD 6 letters - "Three-legged base" leads to TRIPOD by definition. It begins with T and ends with D; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
SCARVES 7 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Winter neckwear items for blustery days" asks for more than one, and SCARVES fits. It begins with S and ends with S; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
