Word Lanes Level 8974 Answers
8 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 8974, part of the Levels 8901-9000 block. Level 8974 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
MITTROMNEY 10 letters - "First Mormon presidential nominee of a major party" is a straight definition, and MITTROMNEY is the word that matches. The doubled T is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
THIRTEENTHS 11 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Fractions of a baker's dozen" asks for more than one, and THIRTEENTHS fits. It is the longest answer in Level 8974, so solving it first exposes the most crossing letters.
HANSOLO 7 letters - "Harrison Ford Star Wars character" leads to HANSOLO by definition. EXPIRES in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
SALADS 6 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Leafy summer meals with lettuce and tomato" asks for more than one, and SALADS fits. It ties with INFLUX for the shortest lane here; wait for crossings before committing.
LANTERNS 8 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Paper lamps, can be sent off into the sky" asks for more than one, and LANTERNS fits. The trailing S is often the first letter a crossing clue hands you.
EXPIRES 7 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Passes date of validity" asks for more than one, and EXPIRES fits. It begins with E and ends with S; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
INFLUX 6 letters - "Sudden mass arrival" leads to INFLUX by definition. It begins with I and ends with X; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
TENGALLON 9 letters - reading "Western hat with vast liquid capacity" literally points to TENGALLON. The doubled L is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
