Word Lanes Level 143 Answers
8 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 143, part of the Levels 101-200 block. Level 143 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
SURGICAL 8 letters - "Description for a precise incision" is a straight definition, and SURGICAL is the word that matches. It ties with WAXWORKS for the longest lane in Level 143 at 8 letters, so either one opens up the most crossings.
FAILED 6 letters - the past tense ending narrows the options - "Did not succeed" leads to FAILED. It ties with LONDON for the shortest lane here; wait for crossings before committing.
SOWSEAR 7 letters - "Impossible to make a silk purse from this" leads to SOWSEAR by definition. GALLEON in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
WAXWORKS 8 letters - the plural form is the giveaway here - "Lifelike models of famous people" asks for more than one, and WAXWORKS fits. It opens with an uncommon W, which makes it a strong anchor for the lanes it crosses.
DOGTOOTH 8 letters - "Monochrome pattern named like a canine's canine" is a straight definition, and DOGTOOTH is the word that matches. The doubled O is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
GALLEON 7 letters - the clue "Sailing ship used for voyages of exploration" describes GALLEON directly. The doubled L is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
LONDON 6 letters - "This English capital's bridge is falling down" leads to LONDON by definition. It begins with L and ends with N; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
EMBARK 6 letters - reading "To set out on a journey, to board a ship" literally points to EMBARK. It begins with E and ends with K; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
